Jammu : The Administrative Council which met here under the Chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha accorded approval for change of administrative department of Mubarak Mandi Heritage Society (MMJHS), Jammu, from Tourism Department to Culture Department.
Rajeev RaiBhatnagar, Advisor to the Lieutenant Governor; AtalDulloo, Chief Secretary, J&K; Mandeep Kumar Bhandari, Principal Secretary to Lieutenant Governor attended the meeting.
Since maintenance of the Mubarak Mandi Heritage complex aligns with the role and responsibility of the Culture Department, the proposal was mooted by Tourism Department for change of Administrative Department of the society from Tourism to 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 control of the affairs of the complex.
