PULWAMA: In compliance with the directions of JK Legal Services Authority, the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Pulwama today organized an awareness programme on ‘World HIV/AIDS Day’ in collaboration with the Health Department at District Hospital Pulwama and Community Health Centre Rajpora Pulwama. The programme was organized under the chairmanship of Naseer Ahmad Dar, Chairman DLSA (Pr. District & Sessions Judge), Pulwama and under the supervision of Mudasar Farooq, Secretary DLSA Pulwama

On this occasion, Advocate Syed Irfan Mohammad informed the participants and medical specialists about the principal objective of the medical profession, which is to render services to humanity with full respect for human dignity. He said the doctor cannot withhold treatment from any patient based on a moral judgment that the patient’s activities or lifestyle might have contributed to the condition for which treatment was being sought.

Furthermore, Dr. Bisma (pathologist) from District Hospital Pulwama also gave a brief lecture about the principles of HIV Prevention and Positives and the efficacy of the event. Subsequently, another programme on the same theme was organized at Community Health Centre Rajpora Pulwama in which Advocate Sameer Yatoo deliberated on the legal rights of individuals living with HIV/AIDs. The programme was attended by a handsome gathering including staff members and PLVs of DLSA Pulwama.

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.
