  • Takes first-hand appraisal of verification and freezing of Jamabandis

KULGAM: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kulgam, Athar Aamir Khan, today visited the Tehsil Office Qaimoh to review its functioning and took first-hand appraisal of verification and freezing of Jamabandis. During the visit, the DC inspected various sections of the tehsil office and reviewed the status of freezing of Jamabandi records, including verification, updation, and finalization of entries prior to freezing.

He interacted with revenue officials to assess the progress and quality of the exercise. The Deputy Commissioner emphasized that freezing of Jamabandis is a crucial step towards ensuring accuracy, transparency, and reliability of land records.  He stressed that all records must be thoroughly verified and made error-free before freezing to prevent future disputes and grievances.

The DC directed the concerned officers to ensure strict adherence to prescribed procedures, timely completion of the process, and effective coordination among revenue staff.

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.
