  • Transport Commissioner flags off car rally; hints at hi-tech, robust mechanism for future transport system

SRINAGAR: As part of  the 36th National Road Safety Month activities, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) Kashmir, today organised a car rally aimed at promoting road safety awareness. Transport Commissioner, Vishesh Paul Mahajan, flagged off the rally in presence of RTO Kashmir, Qazi Irfan and other officers and officials. The event commenced with a pledge ceremony with the participants affirming their commitment towards adhering to road safety norms. This was followed by a signature campaign and sticker pasting activity to reinforce the message of responsible driving. The highlight of the day was flag-off of the car rally, with vehicles adorned with banners and slogans advocating road safety, spreading awareness across the city.

Held at the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM), Rajbagh, Srinagar, the event witnessed enthusiastic participation and served as a platform to disseminate the importance of road safety. Later, the Transport Commissioner visited the Trial Test Ground in Srinagar, where he emphasised the importance of two wheelers using proper helmets and car drivers consistently wearing seat belts while obeying road safety rules. He issued instructions to the concerned officers to streamline best practices in the driving test process for achieving licenses. Mahajan also assured that a hi-tech, robust mechanism would be established for the future transport system, guaranteeing quality services by the transport department.

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.
