REASI: To raise awareness about the suspension of democratic rights and constitutional values during the emergency imposed on June 25, 1975, the District Administration Reasi today organized a programme to observe the 50th Samvidhan Hatya Diwas here at Conference Hall, DC Office Complex, Reasi. The event witnessed the presence of Additional Deputy Commissioner, Rakesh Kumar and other district officers and civil society members.

During the programme, various speakers delivered insightful lectures highlighting the constitutional, social and political implications of the Emergency. They apprised that the period was marked by the suspension of fundamental rights, strict censorship of the press and unprecedented centralization of executive power. Thousands of political leaders, journalists and members of civil society were imprisoned and constitutional safeguards were severely compromised. During the event documentary on Samvidhan Hatya Diwas by Ministry of Culture was also shown to the participants.

While addressing the gathering, the ADC Reasi emphasised the importance of safeguarding democratic institutions and drawing lessons from the past to protect the rights enshrined in the Constitution of India. He stated it is crucial to reflect on this dark chapter of our history and reaffirm our collective commitment to the Constitution. The event aimed to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the Constitution of India and resisting any attempts that undermine its core principles.

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.
