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

KULGAM: In a significant action under the ongoing 100 Days Campaign, Police in Kulgam, in coordination with the Revenue Department, have attached an immovable property with an estimated market value of approximately ₹1 crore in District Kulgam as part of sustained efforts to curb unlawful activities and dismantle the infrastructure supporting such offences.

The action was carried out by Police Station Yaripora under the directions of SSP Kulgam. The attached property comprises a residential house belonging to Tariq Ahmad, a resident of Tungdnoo, and has been attached in accordance with the relevant provisions of law pursuant to the orders of the competent authority.

This action reflects the firm commitment of the Jammu and Kashmir Police to ensure that proceeds of crime and properties linked to unlawful activities are dealt with strictly in accordance with the law.

J&K Police reiterated its resolve to maintain peace, uphold the rule of law, and take stringent legal action against individuals involved in activities prejudicial to public order and the security of the Union Territory.

The general public has been urged to continue cooperating with the police and share information regarding any unlawful activities in their respective areas so that collective efforts towards maintaining peace, security, and the rule of law can be further strengthened.

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.
