In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

SRINAGAR:  A specific input was generated due to collaborative team work of Indian Army and JKP in Kulgam District wherein a presence of group of terrorists in general Area of village Arigam was reported. Based on the specific intelligence a joint operation was launched by troops of Indian Army, JKP & CRPF on 28 Sep 24 at about 0400 hours.

The cordon was established with speed and stealth and while the search was in progress, the terrorist opened fire on own troops and contact was established. Forces ensured safety of civilians in the vicinity, evacuated them to safety and carried out a deliberate operation which lasted for over 12 hours.

The operation resulted in neutralisation of hardcore terrorists and recovery of significant quantity of weapons and ammunition. The neutralised terrorists are suspected to be previously involved in various terror activities in Kulgam District. While executing operation, the troops displayed extreme restrain and caution to ensure minimum collateral damage.

The success achieved is unprecedented in the recent times and the operation has dealt a deadly blow to the terrorists & thwarted their nefarious designs to escalate violence levels in the Valley. The joint operation once again highlights the commitment of the Security Forces to ensure stable security situation in the Valley.

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.
