SRINAGAR: In connection with the upcoming National Legal Aid Day to be observed on 9th November 2025, the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Srinagar organized an Awareness Programme on Free Legal Aid across various locations of District Srinagar. The programme was held under the chairmanship of Principal District and Sessions Judge, Srinagar, Tasleem Arief, and under the supervision of Sub-Judge/Secretary, DLSA Srinagar, Sajad Ur Rehman.

The initiative aimed to sensitize the general public about their rights and the availability of free legal services under the Legal Services Authorities Act. On this occasion, Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) of DLSA Srinagar conducted awareness sessions and outreach programmes at different public places, spreading information regarding free legal aid, the role of Legal Services Institutions, and procedures to avail such services.

The Para Legal Volunteers acted as resource persons, engaging with the community, distributing informative material, and encouraging people to seek legal assistance through the District and Tehsil Legal Services Committees. The awareness drive reflects the continued efforts of DLSA Srinagar to ensure access to justice for all, particularly for the marginalized and weaker sections of society.

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.
