The Survival Fight of JK Monitor: For 16 years, JK Monitor has chronicled Jammu and Kashmir with integrity. Since 2010, I have steered its newsroom alongside our visionary Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan (IIT Kharagpur alumnus, University of Maryland Ph.D.). His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum. Without urgent support, our 24/7 news portal risks permanently shutting down after November 2026, remaining only as a static digital archive. We appeal to well-wishers to extend a helping hand to keep our active newsroom alive. Support Us: WhatsApp: +91-9906103001 | Email: journalistajmerwani@gmail.com

SOPORE: As part of sustained action against the terror ecosystem, police in Sopore attached the immovable properties of three proclaimed offenders in connection with FIR No. 02/2008 under Sections 2/3 of the E&IMCO Act registered at Police Station Panzalla.

The attachment proceedings were carried out at Nadihal in collaboration with the Revenue Department against the following accused persons:-

  • Reyaz Ahmad Lone son of Mukhtar Lone resident of Nadihal – land measuring 2 Kanal 16 Marlas under various survey numbers.
  • Aijaz Ahmad Lone son of Ali Mohammad Lone resident of Nadihal – land measuring 10 Marlas under survey number 280 min.
  • Mushtaq Ahmad Shah son of Assadullah Shah resident of Nadihal – land measuring 2 Kanal under survey numbers 3308 min and 3032 min.

All the accused had been evading legal proceedings despite sustained efforts and were declared Proclaimed Offenders by the Hon’ble Court under Section 87 CrPC.

Subsequently, in compliance with the orders of the Hon’ble Court, attachment proceedings under Section 88 CrPC were executed after due verification of the properties through revenue records and local enquiry. The process was carried out in the presence of Revenue officials and independent witnesses, and all codal formalities were duly observed.

This action forms part of the continued efforts of Sopore Police to enforce the rule of law against absconding accused involved in activities prejudicial to the security and integrity of the nation. Police reiterate their firm commitment to take lawful and stringent action against individuals engaged in unlawful and anti-national activities.

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