Speaking on the occasion Waqf Chairperson said that after many days of rainy season, we today saw a pleasant weather in Kashmir and the Board had erected water proof prayer spaces and also created dry spaces in the whole campus to accommodate & facilitate such a huge gathering smoothly. "Throughout the Union Territory of J&K, the Board had made preparations for the prayers at all major locations and we thank the people for their cooperation.

We are humbled and inspired by the appreciation we got from the people for our efforts.

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.
