• Cnferring proprietary rights under Clause (l) of Sub Section 2 of Section 9 of the Evacuees’ (Administration of Property) Act Svt. 2006

SRINAGAR: In a landmark decision, the Administrative Council here today approved the proposal for transfer of Evacuees’ land conferring proprietary rights to the Displaced persons of 1947, 1965, 1971 and West Pakistan Displaced Persons. This decision will confer absolute proprietary rights over Evacuees’ land to DPs as already conferred over State Land.

As per the decision, the Custodian concerned will transfer the land in favour of the DPs in a time-bound manner. Custodian General shall ensure proper safeguards to prevent any misuse particularly unauthorized encroachments on the Evacuees’ land.

The Government has issued directions for time-bound processing of applications giving  proprietary rights  to DPs over Evacuee land  in 30 days and the entire process is expected to be completed within 6 months, providing major relief to the displaced persons.

The total quantum of transferred land  shall be as per the  land ceiling provided by Cabinet Order No. 578-C of 1954 and the ceiling under the Jammu and Kashmir Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976.

The decision fulfills demands of all connected families, which have been requesting for ownership rights since past so many decades. The Government has always remained committed to provide benefits to the Displaced Persons.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
