The government has decided to shut the civil secretariat and other move offices in Jammu by the month-end and start functioning from Srinagar.

The civil secretariat was formally thrown open in Srinagar by Murmu in May, but the employees were asked to work from as is where is basis because of the coronavirus lockdown.

Sources said during the meeting to review the functioning of the Durbar move, the government was keen on shifting it to Srinagar.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
