RAMBAN: Deputy Commissioner Ramban Mohammad Alyas Khan today conducted an extensive tour of Dalwas, Chanderkote and adjoining areas to inspect the progress of ongoing developmental works and review the overall developmental scenario of the area.

Senior Superintendent of Police Arun Gupta and Engineers from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and officers of concerned departments accompanied the Deputy Commissioner during the inspection.

The Deputy Commissioner inspected several ongoing works in Dalwas and Chanderkote and assessed the pace and quality of execution.  He also inspected the construction work of the concrete cladding wall alongside NH-44 at Dalwas, which had suffered damage earlier and is presently being restored by NHAI. The wall is crucial for ensuring smooth road connectivity to Dalwas, Karma and Sowani villages besides maintaining uninterrupted traffic movement on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.

The Deputy Commissioner directed the NHAI to expedite the restoration work and complete it within the stipulated time frame. ā€œThe execution of works shall include full safety measures to avoid inconvenience to commuters and local residents,ā€ he stressed.

The Deputy Commissioner also reviewed the overall developmental scenario of the area and interacted with local residents to listen to their issues and grievances. Most of the issues related to basic amenities raised by the locals were resolved on the spot. He further directed the concerned officers to address all genuine pending issues in a prompt and time-bound manner.

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.

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.
