PULWAMA: As part of the week-long celebrations of Sushasan Saptah under the nationwide campaign “Prashashan Gaon Ki Ore”, the District Administration Pulwama organised grievance redressal camps at multiple locations across the district to ensure effective outreach and on-the-spot redressal of public grievances.

A mega outreach-cum-grievance redressal camp was organised at the Community Facility Centre (CFC), Aripal, which was presided over by MLA Tral, Rafiq Ahmad Naik. The camp witnessed active participation from line departments including Agriculture, Rural Development Department (RDD), Horticulture, Sheep Husbandry, Animal Husbandry, Health and other allied departments.

During the camp, the MLA interacted with local residents, listened to their issues and facilitated prompt redressal of grievances at the grassroots level. Similarly, a grievance redressal camp was organised at the Block Headquarters Dadasara, which was attended by DDC Member Dadasara, Avtar Singh, along with officers of concerned departments.

Meanwhile, multi-department grievance redressal camps were also organised at Block Headquarters Kakapora, Newa, Pampore, Pulwama, Shadimarg and Tral, as well as at Panchayats including Palpora Tokina, Satoora, Rajpora, Amlar, Kakapora, Khaigam, Parigam, Wuyan, Banoora, Diver and Rathusan. Officers from various departments attended these camps and addressed public grievances, facilitating on-the-spot resolution of issues related to government services and welfare schemes.

In addition, the Agriculture Department organised outreach camps in Tral, Hawal, Pulwama, Litter and Noorpora zones to sensitise farmers about ongoing agricultural schemes, improved farming practices and available support mechanisms. Farmer's queries were addressed on the spot to promote informed participation and better utilisation of government initiatives.

Besides, district-level workshop was organised at Circuit House Pulwama, on Good Governance Practices aimed at strengthening transparency, accountability and citizen-centric service delivery. The district-wide outreach under Prashashan Gaon Ki Ore aims to strengthen last-mile delivery, enhance transparency and ensure responsive governance reaches the doorsteps of people.

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.
