RAMBAN: Deputy Commissioner Ramban Mohammad Alyas Khan today inspected the damaged stretches of Dalwas-Sowani Road affected by mudslides triggered by recent heavy rainfall.

During the inspection, the Deputy Commissioner directed the Executive Engineer PMGSY Ramban and NHAI engineers present at the site to immediately initiate restoration works and ensure that road connectivity is restored at the earliest.

The Deputy Commissioner directed NHAI to take up construction of a crate wall along the National Highway to protect the Dalwas-Sowani Road at the take-off point. He also instructed the Executive Engineer PMGSY to expedite restoration works at other affected locations.

The engineers concerned apprised the Deputy Commissioner of the extent of damage and the measures being undertaken for early restoration of the affected stretches. The Dalwas-Sowani Road provides vital connectivity to Dalwas, Karma and Sowani villages, and its restoration is essential for the smooth movement of residents and timely access to essential supplies and services.

The DC directed the executing agencies to deploy adequate manpower and machinery and expedite the restoration work, particularly at the stretches affected by heavy rainfall and mudslides. He stressed that all necessary measures be taken on priority to restore connectivity while ensuring the quality and durability of the works.

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.
