- The Darbar Transfer is the seasonal shift of government offices between Srinagar, the summer capital, and Jammu, the winter capital.
- This tradition, over 150 years old, was introduced in 1872 by Maharaja Ranbir Singh.
- It was revived in 2025 after a four-year suspension.
- Srinagar offices will close on October 31 and reopen in Jammu on November 3.
- The practice ensures governance across Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh despite harsh weather.
- The annual cost is around ₹200 crore, and the move supports Jammu’s economy while preserving heritage.
- Similar dual-capital systems exist in Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh.
