GANDERBAL: J&K Police in coordination with the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD), conducted a special drive across the district Ganderbal to check vehicles bearing outside UT registration numbers that continue to ply in Jammu & Kashmir without mandatory transfer of ownership and registration.

During the drive, multiple checking naka points were established at key locations across Ganderbal. The joint teams thoroughly inspected vehicles to ensure compliance with transfer norms and other statutory requirements. Strict action was initiated against owners and drivers found violating the Motor Vehicles Act, including plying non-transferred vehicles, lack of valid documents, and other traffic-related violations.

J&K Police emphasized that such drives are aimed at ensuring road safety, preventing misuse of vehicles with outside registrations, and enforcing strict adherence to legal provisions. Such similar drives will continue in the coming days to maintain discipline on roads and ensure compliance with all motor vehicle rules.

J&K Police appeals to the general public to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and complete all necessary formalities related to vehicle registration and transfer in time. Citizens have also been urged to follow traffic norms to avoid legal action.

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.
