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

DODA: Thathri Police organised an awareness program on the New Criminal Laws at Panchayat Ghar Jangalwar Tehsil Phagsoo. The event was held under the supervision of SHO Police Station Thathri Suresh Kumar, and the guidance of SSP Doda, Sandeep Kumar Mehta. The program aimed to educate the public about significant reforms introduced under the New Criminal Law.

The session saw the participation of approximately 30 to 40 people, including senior citizens, shopkeepers, and local residents. The participants were briefed on important provisions of the New Criminal Law, such as faster investigation and trial procedures, enhanced protection of victims' rights, stringent penalties for crimes against women and children, and digital recording of witness statements for transparency. Officers emphasized how these reforms aim to ensure swift justice, reduce crime rates, and build trust between the community and law enforcement agencies.

As part of the district-wide initiative, similar awareness programs on the New Criminal Law were conducted at various locations across Doda district, highlighting the importance of legal literacy and public cooperation in ensuring law and order.

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.
