ANANTNAG: In a concerted effort to enhance regulatory enforcement, the Drug Control Organization Anantnag today conducted inspections in peripheral areas of Kokernag, including Khalar, Nagam, Vailoo, Soyan, Devalgam, Mathadoo, and Matigavran.

During the operation, nearly 20 medical sale establishments were inspected and found to be compliant with the necessary regulations. However, the operations of two retail drug sale establishments, M/s Naikoo Medical Store Nagam and Mehboobul-Ul Alam Medical Store Nagam, were immediately disallowed for violating the conditions of their licenses.

Chemists in the area were strongly urged to adopt Good Pharmacy Practices, maintain Good Storage Conditions, and adhere strictly to the circulars and guidelines issued periodically by the Drug Control Organization and the District Administration.

They were also warned of stringent actions, including the permanent cancellation of their licenses, in case of violations under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and the rules thereunder.

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.
