• Urges distt admin to expedite additional land transfer process for the commencement of work

BARAMULLA: In a move towards strengthening the healthcare infrastructure in the district, Chairperson District Development Council (DDC) Baramulla, Safina Beigh, today conducted an extensive site visit of the proposed Ayurvedic Medical College and Associated Hospital at Kanispora, Baramulla.

Chairperson DDC was accompanied by the Additional Deputy Commissioner Baramulla and other officers during the site visit. On the occasion, Chairperson stressed that the establishment of the Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital would not only augment the existing health infrastructure in the district but also promote alternative and traditional systems of medicine.

She further informed that a significant portion of land for the project has already been formally transferred to the AYUSH department and more land was identified to facilitate the seamless construction and expansion of the proposed medical college and hospital. Safina Beigh urged the district administration to fast-track the remaining land transfer process and promptly address any existing bottlenecks to ensure that construction work on the hospital can commence at the earliest.

She added that the project, once completed, will provide the people of Baramulla and adjoining areas access to quality Ayurvedic treatment, education and wellness services.

“This institution holds great promise for the people of Baramulla. It is essential that we do not lose time in bringing this facility to life, especially given the growing demand for traditional and holistic healthcare,” she said.

She reiterated her commitment to monitoring the progress closely and extending all possible support from the District Development Council in resolving any issues that may arise during execution.

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.
