REASI: Deputy Commissioner Reasi Kumar Abhishek today launched the National Immunisation Day Pulse Polio Campaign at the District Hospital, Reasi.

A total of 384 vaccination booths have been established across the district. The administration has set a target of vaccinating around 59,000 to 60,000 children during the drive, which will continue over the next two days. Mobile teams have been deployed to conduct door-to-door visits so that no eligible child is left uncovered.

The Deputy Commissioner said the district-wide campaign aims to administer oral polio vaccine drops to all children below five years of age. He stressed that although India has achieved polio-free status, continued vigilance and public participation remain crucial to sustaining it.

The DC appealed to parents and guardians to bring every child below five years of age to the nearest vaccination booth or to avail the services of the visiting mobile teams, so that every eligible child receives the polio vaccine. Among those present were Medical Superintendent Dr Karamveer Singh, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer and other officers concerned.

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.
