BHADERWAH: Additional Deputy Commissioner Bhaderwah, Sunil Kumar, today convened a commemoration of 'Samvidhan Hatya Divas', observed nationally on June 25. This day remembers the constitutional assault during the 1975 Emergency.

The meeting was attended by chief guest Gyan Chand and guest of honour Madan Kotwal, along with senior officers from across the sub-district, including representatives from Police, Education, Health, PWD, PDD, PHE, PMGSY and Municipal Committees.

During the meeting, ADC Sunil Kumar outlined plans for public awareness initiatives in schools and colleges that will focus on constitutional values and civic responsibility. The administration also discussed community outreach drives to disseminate informational materials and engage citizens in discussions about the historical context of Emergency-era suppression of democratic rights.

Speaking on the occasion, ADC Sunil Kumar emphasized that 'Samvidhan Hatya Divas' serves as a day to reaffirm our collective faith in democracy and reflect on the fragility of civil liberties. He stressed the importance of maintaining vigilance to prevent any future subversion of our constitutional framework and underscored the significance of involving youth in these efforts while educating the public about democratic rights and constitutional safeguards.

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.
