BUDGAM: Police in Budgam responded promptly to two medical emergency calls from remote areas of Sub-Division Khansahib, ensuring the safe evacuation of two women patients whose conditions had turned critical.

Police Station Khansahib received a distress call from Batpora Shekhpora regarding a woman suffering from severe pain. Swiftly, a police team led by SHO PS Khansahib, immediately rushed to the spot and shifted the patient to Khansahib Hospital for treatment. Similarly, the same police station responded to an urgent call from the Hariwanin area, where a pregnant woman required immediate medical assistance. The police team swiftly and safely evacuated her to the hospital for necessary care.

Local residents appreciated the timely and humanitarian response of the police, particularly in view of the challenging terrain and limited medical access in far-flung areas. Police reaffirmed their commitment to community service and urged the public to seek police assistance during emergencies.

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.
