Why Jammu and Kashmir has two capitals? How does the two capital scenario works?

Yes it is true. Jammu and Kashmir is having two capitals. The summer capital is Srinagar while the winter capital is Jammu. This is because as far as strategic location is concerned, Srinagar is the most suitable place to control all the political, territorial and functional working. As this is located in middle of the populated area of Jammu and Kashmir. Lot of activity people need to do in capitals so these are kept some where in middle of active area.
But in winters, it becomes geographically challenging because it's temperature drops lower than zero. So we cannot run capital in these conditions.
Also In the winters active financial area is southern part of Jammu kashmir. So they shift the capital to this part.
Hence they have two capitals Srinagar for summers and Jammu for winters.
