NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah called on Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar today at the Vice-President’s Enclave in New Delhi. Vice President Dhankhar’s official account shared on X, formerly Twitter, saying, “Shri Omar Abdullah ji, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir called on Hon’ble Vice-President, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar at Vice-President’s Enclave today.”

The Chief Minister is currently in the National Capital for an official visit, during which he is also scheduled to meet the President of India Droupadi Murmu and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in next two days.  This visit reflects Jammu and Kashmir’s commitment to enhance coordination with the central government.

 As part of his engagements, Chief Minister Abdullah attended the Conference of Power Ministers of States & UTs on November 12, chaired by Union Minister for Power Manohar Lal Khattar.

During the conference, the Chief Minister spoke extensively on the challenges Jammu and Kashmir faces in fully harnessing the potential of its rivers for generating hydroelectric energy particularly due to the Indus Water Treaty which allows only limited use of water for run-of-the-river projects but does not permit storage of water in respect of three important river systems - Indus, Chenab and Jhelum, flowing in the river-rich Jammu and Kashmir.

Chief Minister yesterday participated actively in all technical sessions, presenting the perspective and concerns of the Jammu and Kashmir government before the national forum.

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.
