DODA: A free health check-up-cum-screening camp was organised under the Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) initiative at villages Sharni and Panchayee in Medical Block Thathri, District Doda today.

Organised under the supervision of Block Medical Officer Thathri Dr Shakeel Ahmed Kichloo, the camp aimed to bring quality healthcare services to the doorsteps of the rural population, facilitate early detection of diseases and promote awareness of preventive healthcare.

A comprehensive range of services, including general health check-ups, Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) screening, laboratory investigations and medical consultations, was provided to the people of the area. More than 140 patients availed the free services.

The medical team was led by Dr Mansoor Ganai and assisted by the local health staff along with the MMU team from the CMO Office, Doda.

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.
