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

SRINAGAR: Police have organized an awareness programme on the New Criminal Laws in Budgam and Sopore. In Budgam, the officers from Budgam Police highlighted the role and importance of new criminal laws among the participants who came from different areas of the district. Similarly, in Sopore, an awareness session on the new criminal laws was organised for students at New Era Academy Tarzoo.

The events witnessed significant participation from educationists, prominent individuals and students. They were given a basic awareness of the New Criminal Laws followed by interactive discussions to enhance the practical knowledge of the laws.

The new laws include provisions that ensure justice for the victims of crime and the society at large. Modernization of the investigation process through the use of technology has been included and the new laws also sets timelines for trials. A question-and-answer session was also held, where students posed questions and received guidance from the experts. The participants appreciated the role of J&K Police in organising such awareness programmes.

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.
