IGP Traffic J&K directed the SSP Traffic City Jammu and DySP Traffic City Jammu to formulate and implement a comprehensive traffic management plan for the upcoming Darbar Move. The plan is to account for anticipated winter migration from the Valley, Doda and Kishtwar, as well as the expected rise in vehicular movement from November through the end of February.

Special attention is to be given to congestion-prone areas, including Sidhra, Bathindi and adjoining areas, Green Belt Park, Jammu Railway Station, Railway Chowk, Narwal, Qasim Nagar, Canal Road, Bagh-e-Bahu, Satwari and Janipur.

The SSP Traffic NHW Ramban was directed to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted movement of the Darbar Move convoy, with particular focus on the single-lane stretch from Nachlana to Hingni and the Dewal and Mom Passi stretches. She was also instructed to maintain close coordination with the DIGP Traffic Range Kashmir, SSP Traffic Rural Kashmir and SSP Traffic City Jammu to facilitate the convoy’s safe and smooth passage.

Emphasising road safety, the IGP directed all officers to take proactive steps to reduce road accidents. Special enforcement drives are to be launched against stunt biking, underage driving, overloading, rash driving and drunk driving. Strict legal action is to be initiated against violators.

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.
