KISHTWAR: Assistant Commissioner Development Phulail Singh today conducted a comprehensive field visit to Dharbadan Panchayat, Keshwan A and B Panchayats in Block Thakrie where he convened a public grievances redressal camp and inspected  developmental works being executed under MGNREGA, Capex, PMAY-G, and SBM-G.

The ACD inspected progress of work on upcoming roads, bridges, and buildings. He emphasized the importance of quality work and ensuring durability. He warned that any lackadaisical approach would not be tolerated from any stakeholders. He also directed that each work should have a mandatory CIB with disclosure of all details.

At Dharbadan Panchayat, the ACD directed Block Development Officer (BDO) to identify a suitable patch of government land for the construction of a Panchayat Ghar. Later, he listened to people’s issues at public grievances redressal camps held at Dharbadan and Keshwan-Panchayats.  He assured the public that their genuine issues would be resolved at the earliest possible time.  

The ACD was accompanied by local BDO Istiyaz Ahmed Molvi and other field functionaries. The field visit and public grievance redressal camp were part of the district administration's efforts to ensure transparency, accountability and effective delivery of services to the public.

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.
