BUDGAM: Continuing its sustained campaign against the menace of drugs and the financial networks supporting narcotics-related activities, Police in Budgam have attached a two-storey residential house belonging to Noor Mohd Dar son of Mohammad Ismail Dar resident of Hapatnar, Charar-i-Shareif, under the provisions of Section 68-F(1) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

The action has been taken in connection with FIR No. 36/2026 under Sections 8/15 of the NDPS Act, registered at Police Station Charar-i-Shareif. The case pertains to offences relating to the illegal possession, transportation and/or trafficking of narcotic substances and is being investigated in accordance with law.

As per the provisions of law, the owner of the attached property is prohibited from selling, transferring, leasing, mortgaging or otherwise creating any third-party interest in the attached property without the permission of the competent authority.

The action is part of the broader strategy adopted by J&K Police to target not only the direct perpetrators of drug offences but also the financial and property assets associated with narcotics-related activities. By invoking the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act, Police are working to deprive drug traffickers and other persons involved in the illicit drug trade of the financial benefits and assets generated through or associated with such activities.

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.
