DODA: As part of the Anti-Dengue Month (July 2026) campaign under the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), an anti-larval drive and Information, Education and Communication (IEC) awareness campaign was conducted at the Deputy Commissioner Office, Doda, identified hotspot areas and the adjoining premises of the CMO Office, Doda.

Conducted under the supervision of District Malaria Officer Doda Ilam ud Din, the drive was carried out jointly by the malaria teams from the CMO Office Doda and Medical Block Ghat.

The teams carried out anti-larval insecticide spraying at identified mosquito breeding sites to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria and chikungunya. IEC activities, including poster pasting at prominent public places, were conducted to educate the public about preventive measures, source reduction and the importance of maintaining a clean environment.

The Health Department has appealed to the public to support the campaign by preventing water stagnation in and around homes and workplaces, eliminating mosquito breeding sources and adopting all recommended preventive measures.

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.
