BARAMULLA: As part of its commitment to community policing and public welfare, Baramulla Police organised a series of Police–Public Interaction Programmes (Thana Diwas) across the district to strengthen ties with the people and address their concerns.

The programmes were held at 30 locations, including Whole Market Baramulla, Towheed Gunj, Noorbagh, Zoogiyar, Shaipora, Faqirwani, Kralpora, Rasrapora, Serwo, Kripal Garh, Takiya Tapper, Khore Sherabad, Magraypora, Burzawachan, Shirpora, Muran Tangwari, Nowpora Jagir, Chanpora, Kilwara, Panditpora, Gulabdaji, Kandwa, Pandoori, Hillen Pehlipora, Bodrali, Nowpora, Pringal, Bijhama AB, Dardkote and Sarai, with active participation from local residents.

During the programmes, police officers interacted directly with the public and listened to their issues and suggestions. Residents raised matters related to water supply, electricity, drainage, road connectivity, verification procedures, cybercrime and drug abuse. The officers also created awareness about cyber safety, public security and the use of Dial-112 for reporting emergencies. People were assured that genuine grievances would be taken up with the concerned departments for necessary action.

Special attention was given to spreading awareness about the harmful effects of drug abuse, particularly among the youth. The participants were urged to remain vigilant and cooperate with the police in efforts to make society drug-free and safer.

The participants appreciated the initiative and welcomed the continued efforts of Police in strengthening police–public relations and promoting a secure and peaceful environment.

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.
