JAMMU: The Administrative Council which met here under the Chairmanship of Manoj Sinha, LG accorded approval for the change of the administrative department of Mubarak Mandi Heritage Society (MMJHS), Jammu, from the Tourism Department to the Culture Department.
Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar, Advisor to the Lieutenant Governor; Atal Dulloo, Chief Secretary, J&K; Mandeep Kumar Bhandari, Principal Secretary to Lieutenant Governor attended the meeting.
Since the maintenance of the Mubarak Mandi Heritage Complex aligns with the role and responsibility of the Culture Department, the proposal was mooted by the Tourism Department for a change of the Administrative Department of the society from Tourism to the Culture Department.
By placing MMJHS under the Culture Department, its projects will become part of the Culture Department’s regular budget, making heritage preservation more organized and effective and will also address funding concerns and impart efficiency in the control of the affairs of the complex.
