SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Housing Board’s 03 days special camp for assistance on various issues related to plots in Housing Colonies in Kashmir commenced today at Bemina camp office here. The special camp, on its first day, was a great success as it  provided much-needed assistance for various issues like sale of plots, lease extension/conversion of leasehold rights, issuance of NOCs for conveyance deed and sale deed, among others.

The Managing Director encouraged allottees/ lessees and the general public to take advantage of this opportunity and informed them that the camp scheduled for 1st to 3rd August would be extended if more responses are received, thereby encouraging more participation. The response from the residents of Housing Colonies including Bagh-e-Mehtab, Bijbehara, Bemina, Ompora, Rawalpora, and Bootakadal was truly overwhelming.

During the camp,  significant number of applicants visited the Bemina office in Srinagar to resolve issues related to transfer of plots, conversion of leasehold rights into freehold rights, loss of original plot documents, amalgamation of plots, construction of Marriage/Community Hall, provision of Graveyard, and Library in Housing Colony, Bagh-i-Mehtab. The Housing Board Officials not only provided necessary assistance but also advised on the uploading of documents on the property portal.

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.
