SHOPIAN: A preparatory meeting regarding the formulation of the GIS-based Master Plan for Shopian, approved under AMRUT 2.0, was convened today under the Chairmanship of Additional District Development Commissioner (ADDC) Shopian, Dr. Nasir Ahmed Lone here at Mini-Secretariat Shopian. The meeting aimed to streamline the process for preparation of a comprehensive and future-oriented Master Plan to guide the town’s sustainable urban development.

The ADDC stressed the need for inter-departmental coordination to ensure that all relevant data pertaining to 17 existing municipal wards and 26 peripheral areas proposed for inclusion in the planning area is provided within the stipulated time frame. He emphasized that timely and accurate data collection will enable effective planning and ensure that the Master Plan aligns with the vision of planned, sustainable and environment-friendly urban growth.

Detailed discussions were held on the modalities for collection and submission of spatial and non-spatial data required for the formulation of the GIS-based Master Plan. It was decided that all concerned departments shall nominate nodal officers to coordinate with the consultant and planning team for smooth and speedy execution of the process.

The Master Plan, once finalized, will serve as a blueprint for guiding future development, infrastructure creation, and efficient utilization of land resources in Shopian town and adjoining areas. The meeting concluded with directions for completing data finalization within the given timeline so that the draft Master Plan could be submitted for approval in due course. During the meeting, officers from all line departments including Revenue, JalShakti, PDD, R&B, RDD, Education, Health and other stakeholder agencies participated.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
