SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Police urges general public to actively utilize the services of Emergency Response Support System (ERSS)-112 for immediate assistance in case of any emergency.

The ERSS helpline 112 is a 24×7 integrated emergency service, providing prompt response for incidents such as accidents, law & order situations, medical emergencies, fire incidents, and distress calls, including those involving women and children. The helpline system is manned by professional call takers, including trained women staff, to effectively assist and support members of the society in distress.

The service can be accessed by dialling 112 from any mobile or landline, sending alerts via SMS or SOS/panic buttons (available on 112 India App) on smartphones, and through ERSS-based digital platform (jk.erss.in). Swift response teams are promptly deployed through GPS-enabled Emergency Response Vehicles to ensure timely assistance.

General public is requested to extend cooperation to the J&K Police and make responsible use of this facility. Misuse of the emergency helpline by making false or prank calls is a punishable offence under law. J&K Police reiterates its commitment towards ensuring a safe & secure society, and seeks active participation of citizens in this collective effort.

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.
