PULWAMA: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Pulwama, Dr. Basharat Qayoom, today chaired the District Level Screening-cum-Coordination Committee (DLSCC) meeting at Circuit House Pulwama to review, discuss, and finalize cases related to benefits under SRO-43.

At the outset, the Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Pulwama briefed the meeting on the current status of each case. After detailed deliberations, the Committee approved various eligible cases under the provisions of SRO-43.

Dr. Qayoom, while assessing each case, emphasised that compensatory measures under SRO-43 must not be viewed merely as official formalities, but as a social and moral responsibility towards families of terror victims.

He directed all departments to adopt a proactive approach to ensure that requisite formalities and verifications are completed expeditiously. With regard to cases where documentation or reports were pending, he instructed the concerned officers to expedite submission to prevent unnecessary delays in extending benefits.

The meeting was attended by Additional Deputy Commissioners of Pulwama, Awantipora, and Tral; Assistant Commissioner Revenue, Pulwama; as well as officers from Police, Defence, and district administration.

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.
