SRINAGAR: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg, today inaugurated a dedicated parking facility at the Old Secretariat, Srinagar, for the staff of various offices housed at the Amar Niwas Complex.

Deputy Commissioner Srinagar, Akshay Labroo and other officers including Assistant Commissioner Central, Additional Deputy Commissioner Srinagar, Chief Planning Officer Srinagar, Deputy Director Planning, and other senior officers were present on the occasion.

The parking space for around 50 vehicles has been earmarked to facilitate employees of various offices including the Financial Commissioner’s Office, Divisional Commissioner’s Office, and Deputy Commissioner’s Office. The newly inaugurated parking facility is expected to provide significant relief to employees who were earlier unable to park their vehicles conveniently due to space constraints.

On the occasion, the Divisional Commissioner directed police officials to assist in the efficient utilization of the parking facility. He also instructed officials of the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) to relocate electric poles from the parking area to ensure smooth functioning.

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.
