GANDERBAL: The District Election Office Ganderbal today organized a comprehensive training session for the staff deployed for the General Elections to the Legislative Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir, 2024.

The session, held in the Conference Hall of the Mini Secretariat, Ganderbal, was aimed at equipping the polling staff with the necessary skills and knowledge to efficiently perform their duties during the upcoming electoral process.

A group of officers and officials attended the training, which was conducted by master trainers who are experts in election procedures. These trainers provided detailed instructions on the election process, ensuring that the polling staff is well-prepared to handle the responsibilities that come with conducting free, fair and smooth elections.

In addition to the main training event in Ganderbal, a similar session was held in the Kangan Sub-division for the Assembly Constituency Kangan.

This session was supervised by the designated Nodal Officer and involved hands-on training led by master trainers. Participants were given an opportunity to engage directly with the trainers, raising queries related to election procedures and rules. The trainers provided clear and satisfactory answers, ensuring that all doubts were resolved. These training sessions represent a significant step toward ensuring that the upcoming Assembly Elections in the district are conducted smoothly.

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.
