REASI: The Reasi District Administration, under the able leadership of Deputy Commissioner, is working on war footing to restore essential services and ensure safety of people affected by heavy rainfall and flash floods in Mahore Sub Division.

Major roads including Reasi–Arnas–Mahore (RAM) BRO road at Daman and Malai Nallah and Budhal–Mahore–Gool (BMG) BRO road at Sungri, Chasana and Sarh were blocked due to landslides. The diversion at Badora Nallah, constructed after the bridge collapse six months ago, was washed away due to the flash floods. Immediate measures are being taken to restore connectivity at these critical locations.

Under the close supervision of SDM Mahore, Shafqat Majeed Bhat, mobile services were restored in the region by afternoon and partial internet connectivity was ensured, bringing relief to the local population. SDM has also directed Tehsildars to conduct a detailed damage assessment of property and livestock. Importantly, no loss of human life has been reported so far.

The District Administration is monitoring the situation round the clock and has urged people to remain vigilant, avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rains, and strictly follow advisories issued from time to time.

The Reasi Administration reaffirmed its commitment to stand with the people of Mahore and assured that all possible steps are being taken for quick restoration of road connectivity, utilities and normal life.

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.
