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

KULGAM: In a significant development, the Court of Special Judge (Designated Court under the NIA Act) Kulgam, has issued a Proclamation under Section 84 of BNSS against a wanted terrorist involved in multiple terror-related activities in the district.

The proclamation has been issued against Zakir Ahmad Ganie son of Ghulam Mohi-ud-din Ganie resident of Mutalhama, Kulgam. He has been actively involved in unlawful and terror-related activities and is wanted in Case FIR No. 200/2023 registered at Police Station Kulgam under relevant provisions of Sections 13, 16, 18B, 20, and 38 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

The Hon’ble Court has granted the accused 30 days’ time to surrender before the competent authority. In the event of his failure to do so, further proceedings under law shall be initiated.

It is pertinent to mention that prior to the proclamation, the Court had already issued an open-ended Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against the accused. Acting on the court directives, a police team led by DySP Headquarters Kulgam pasted the proclamation order at his residential premises and other conspicuous public places within the village to ensure wide publicity and compliance.

This action marks another step in the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to bring absconding terrorists to justice and to dismantle the terror ecosystem in the district.

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.
