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

SRINAGAR: DPAP Senior leader Peer Bilal is urging the government to take immediate action to address the severe water crisis in Kashmir. He emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to tackle this issue, considering the prolonged dry spell in the region. 

Peer Bilal's concerns are valid, as Kashmir's water crisis can have devastating effects on the environment, agriculture, and daily life. The government must prioritize this issue and develop a long-term strategy to ensure sustainable water management. 

In addition to government action, Peer also stresses the importance of responsible water usage among citizens. He encourages people to use drinking water judiciously and take special care to preserve water bodies. 

Peer Bilal demanded construction of Water Supply Scheme for whole Phaag area with source from Sind Nalla, which can be suitable for long term for the dozens of villages in Phaag area.

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.
