SRINAGAR: As part of the ongoing public outreach initiative under the Government of UT Jammu & Kashmir, Thana Diwas were observed at various police establishments including Awantipora, Sopore, Budgam, etc.

These programmes were held with the aim of bridging the gap between the police and the public by facilitating open dialogue and direct engagement. These meetings were chaired by senior officers along with the concerned Station House Officers. These meetings were attended by various associations and respectable of concerned areas.

During the interactions, participants raised various issues and grievances related to policing and local civic matters. Officers assured the public that all genuine concerns related to the Police Department would be addressed on priority, while matters pertaining to civil administration would be taken up with the concerned departments for timely resolution.

The local populace appreciated the efforts of J&K Police in maintaining peace and security in the district and expressed strong support for such participatory forums. They also emphasized the importance of holding such interactive sessions regularly. Thana Diwas serves the dual purpose of gathering first-hand feedback from the community and understanding public expectations from the Police. It also enables the Police to introspect and improve upon its 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.
