  • Calls for seamless movement of Fruit laden trucks

RAMBAN: Deputy Commissioner Ramban Mohammad lyas Khan along with Additional Deputy Commissioner Varunjeet Singh Charak today conducted an inspection of the National Highway (NH-44) to review the regulation of vehicular movement in view of the ongoing seasonal migration of nomads and the heavy flow of fruit-laden trucks moving towards various destinations across the country amid the peak fruit season.

The Deputy Commissioner also reviewed the possibility of restoring double carriageway movement on the National Highway to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic in both directions. During the inspection, the Deputy Commissioner was also accompanied by Addl. SP Majeeb-Ur- Rehman, DySP Om Prakash, Dy. DP Traffic Sajjad and other officers and officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

The Deputy Commissioner took stock of traffic regulation   and directed the concerned departments to ensure smooth and uninterrupted vehicular movement, particularly for essential commodities and perishable fruit consignments. He emphasized the need for close coordination among the Traffic Police, NHAI and District Police to prevent congestion and ensure the safety of commuters and livestock during the ongoing migration.

The DC instructed officers to remain vigilant at critical junctions and bottlenecks, deploy adequate manpower and maintain real-time coordination with control rooms to address any traffic disruptions promptly.

The DC also directed NHAI to focus on maintenance works where required and ensure proper road conditions. The concerned agencies are making all efforts to ensure seamless traffic movement and public convenience during the fruit season and migration of nomadic flocks.

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.
