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

BUDGAM: Police in Budgam have organized one-day awareness camp on New Criminal Laws at Townhall Khansahab. The event was chaired by Shri Nisar Ahmad-JKPS, SDPO Khansahib, along with the SHO of Police Station Khansahib. It was attended by respectable citizens, community representatives, and women from various nearby areas. Additionally, police officers, officials from Police Station Khansahib, and several civil administrative officers participated in the event.

The chairing officers explained key aspects of the new criminal laws, highlighting the replacement of the IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) respectively. They emphasized that these laws aim to ensure speedy justice for victims and swift punishment for offenders, with specific time frames set for case investigations. The officers also shed light on the provision for registering Zero FIRs.

The session was highly interactive, with participants actively engaging in discussions, asking questions, and seeking clarifications on the new legal provisions. The new laws also incorporate modern investigative techniques, utilizing technology to enhance the justice system. J&K Police remains committed to spreading awareness and ensuring that citizens are well-informed about these legal reforms.

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.
