SRINAGAR: The Zonal Police Headquarters (ZPHQ) Kashmir today organized a one-day training and awareness programme on Inclusive Policing for Persons with Disabilities, with a special focus on the newly introduced criminal laws. The session was held at the Police Control Room, Kashmir, in collaboration with expert resource persons from iProbono India and the Office of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities.

The programme was coordinated by Shri Jaasir Ashraf Mir, Senior Prosecuting Officer, ZPHQ Kashmir. It began with a welcome address by Ms. Sleet Shah, JKPS, Deputy Superintendent of Police Headquarters, Srinagar.

The session featured insights from distinguished speakers including Mr. Iqbal Lone, State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, J&K. Ms. Kaurvaki Mohanty (Program Manager, iProbono India), Ms. Shrutika Pandey (Program Officer, iProbono India) and Advocate Hasnain Khawja.

A total of 72 police personnel from across the Kashmir Valley participated in the training. The programme aimed to sensitize law enforcement personnel to the rights and needs of persons with disabilities, with a focus on their duties under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPWD Act) and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Speakers emphasized the significance of inclusive practices in policing, highlighting special procedural safeguards, legal reforms, and the application of new criminal law provisions while dealing with persons with disabilities—as victims, witnesses, or accused. Emphasis was also placed on fostering sensitivity, autonomy, and respect for the dignity of persons with disabilities within the policing framework.

On behalf of the Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, Shri Jaasir Ashraf Mir extended a vote of thanks to all the participants and resource persons for their active involvement and valuable contributions.

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.
