SRINAGAR: Labour Commissioner, S. Charandeep Singh urged all those e-Shram registrants who do not have a Ration Card to come forward and get in touch with the nearest Tehsil Supply Offices (TSO), or the office of Assistant Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs or the office of Assistant Labour Commissioners in their respective districts so that ration Cards as per eligibility in their favour are issued on priority.

In this regard, the Labour Commissioner also chaired a meeting with Assistant Labour Commissioners and directed them to coordinate with the Assistant Director, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs of their respective districts so that the left out registered e-shram workers can avail the benefit of ration card.

In compliance to the Order dated 20-04-2023 & 03.10.2023 of the Supreme Court passed in SWM(C) No.06 of 2020 titled ā€œIn Re-Problems and Miseries of Migrant Labourersā€, the Labour Department and the Department of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs have over the past several months launched extensive outreach efforts across J&K to ensure issuance of ration cards in favor of left out e-Shram registrants, however, some of the e-Shram registrants have not yet approached the respective offices / authorities in the districts for ration cards.

Special Camps have also been organized for providing Ration Cards to the left-out e-Shram registrants or their inclusion in Ration Cards, as the case may be. The left out e-Shram registrants have been requested to bring the requisite documents along with them for on the spot issuance of ration cards in their favor by the Department of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs.

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.
