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.

  • DC pushes for coverage of remote, inaccessible areas

REASI Deputy Commissioner Reasi Nidhi Malik on Wednesday chaired a meeting to review the activity plan for Good Governance Week 2024 and launch of “Prashasan Gaon ki Ore” Campaign in the District. She directed officials to organize awareness and grievance redressal camps in a decentralized manner to reach out to remote and inaccessible areas. The initiative aims to enhance citizens’ engagement and ensure equitable access to government services.

Emphasis was laid on the qualitative and timely resolution of grievances registered on platforms like CPGRAMS and JKSAMADHAAN and improving public services delivery. Officials were instructed to align grievance redressal with the broader goals of transparency and accountability during the week-long campaign.

The Deputy Commissioner also urged the Departments to help eligible persons in availing different government schemes by facilitating online submission of applications. She also directed Lead District Manager (LDM) Reasi to expedite the sanctioning and disbursement of pending credit linked scheme cases at banks. She called for proper scheduling of outreach programs to maximize awareness and participation, ensuring Good Governance Week reaches every corner of the district. ADDC Sukhdev Singh Samyal, ADC Kulbushan Khajuria, CPO Narinder Kumar and all district officers were present in the meet.

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.
