DODA: In a significant initiative aimed at promoting accessible and affordable justice, a Special Lok Adalat was organized today at the court premises of the Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC), Doda, focusing on the amicable settlement of long-pending revenue-related cases. The event witnessed active public participation and was held under the broader vision of strengthening alternative dispute resolution mechanisms at the grassroots level.

The Lok Adalat Bench was chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner Anil Kumar Thakur and Assistant Commissioner Revenue Ashraf Parvaiz.  A range of revenue matters, including disputes related to land records, mutations, and demarcations, were taken up during the session. The bench ensured that all proceedings were conducted in a fair, transparent and consensual manner.

Most of the cases were resolved successfully with the mutual consent of the parties involved, enabling swift, peaceful and cost-effective resolution without the need for prolonged litigation. The initiative was widely appreciated by the public and local stakeholders.

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.
