SOPORE: In view of the upcoming Holy Month of Ramadhan, Police in Sopore, in coordination with the concerned departments and other stakeholders, conducted a comprehensive market inspection across key commercial areas of Police District Sopore.

The joint teams inspected shops dealing in essential commodities, food items, fruits, vegetables, bakery products, and other Ramadhan-related goods. During the checking, emphasis was laid on verification of rate lists, prevention of overpricing, maintenance of quality standards, hygiene and cleanliness, and adherence to fair trade practices.

Shopkeepers were directed to display updated rate lists prominently and ensure that essential commodities are sold at approved prices. They were also advised to maintain quality and avoid any form of hoarding or unfair trade practices that could inconvenience the public during the holy month.

The exercise was undertaken to safeguard consumer interests, ensure price stability, and facilitate smooth availability of essential items for the public during Ramadhan. Police reiterated that such inspections will continue in coordination with relevant departments to ensure transparency, accountability, and public welfare during the festive period.

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.
