BUDGAM: J&K Police organised a Cyber Awareness Programme at Townhall Beerwah with the objective of educating the general public, especially students and other stakeholders, about emerging cyber threats and safe online practices. The programme was attended by the SHO Police Station Beerwah, cyber experts from Cyber Police Station Budgam, and members of the District Technical Team (DTT) Budgam.

During the programme, participants were sensitised about various forms of cyber fraud, online safety measures, and the responsible use of social media platforms. Experts advised participants to avoid sharing OTPs, passwords, and bank details with anyone, remain cautious during online financial transactions, and refrain from interacting with unknown persons on social media platforms.

Participants were urged to act as cyber ambassadors within their communities and were briefed about reporting mechanisms, including the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) and helpline number 1930. The initiative aimed to foster collaboration among law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, telecom operators, government departments, and citizens towards building a safer and more secure digital ecosystem in district Budgam.

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.
