PULWAMA: District Administration Pulwama today started a two-day training programme for Supervisors and Booth Level Officers (BLOs) across the district. The training sessions are being conducted under the supervision of District Election Officer, Dr. Basharat Qayoom and aim to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of their roles and responsibilities in the election process.

Sessions are being conducted by District Level Master Trainers and are being held simultaneously across all the four assembly constituencies of the district. Concerned Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) were also present on the occasion to oversee the training sessions. These sessions emphasized the role of BLOs as the grassroots facilitators of the Election Commission of India and stressed the need for accuracy, transparency and accountability in maintaining electoral rolls.

The sessions focused on crucial aspects of electoral roll management, including the conduct of House-to-House verification and the correct procedures for filling Forms related to Addition, Deletion, Correction and transposition of entries in the electoral rolls. A dedicated doubt-clearing session was also held at each venue to address queries raised by the participants.

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.
