BUDGAM: Under the supervision of SSP Budgam Shri Nikhil Borkar-IPS, Police in Budgam organized an awareness programme at Townhall Khansahib to educate the public on the newly enacted criminal laws. The event was chaired by SHO and was attended by local citizens, community representatives, and other stakeholders. Police officers from Police Station Khansahib also participated in the programme.

The initiative aimed to inform the public about the replacement of the IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act with new criminal laws. Officers highlighted key aspects of the reforms, emphasizing their victim-centric approach, which ensures speedy justice and swift punishment for offenders.

The programme also covered important provisions such as the registration of Zero FIRs and e-FIRs, along with the incorporation of modern investigative techniques and technology to enhance the justice system. Police remains committed to raising awareness and ensuring that citizens are well-informed about these legal reforms.

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.
