REASI: In a sustained humanitarian operation, the District Administration Reasi, with active support from the Indian Air Force, has so far delivered 94 quintals of essential ration to Sarhi village in Tehsil Bhomag. Earlier, 25 quintals of ration were airlifted. Today, an additional 69 quintals were dropped to ensure uninterrupted food supplies for the residents.

The relief operation is being carried out under the overall supervision of Deputy Commissioner, Nidhi Malik. The Sarhi area of Tehsil Bhomag remains isolated due to multiple landslides on the Reasi–Sarhi (via Tote) road, while the alternative Udhampur–Sarhi (via Moungri) route is blocked after the Thathi Bridge was washed away.

ā€œDespite the challenging terrain and adverse weather, we are ensuring timely ration supply to Sarhi. Today, 69 quintals were successfully airdropped, and operations will continue further, subject to weather conditions,ā€ said Deputy Commissioner Reasi. The District Administration has reaffirmed that all possible assistance, including emergency medical services, will continue to be extended to remote and inaccessible areas affected by recent landslides and heavy rains.

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.
