REASI: A meeting of the District Level Narco Coordination Committee (NCORD) was convened today under the chairmanship of District Magistrate Reasi, Vishesh Mahajan, at the DC Office Complex. The primary agenda of the meeting was to devise a comprehensive strategy to counter the menace of drug abuse in the district.

During the meeting, the Vishesh Mahajan reviewed the enforcement measures taken to eliminate drug abuse and its peddling throughout the district. He emphasized the formation of youth clubs in every Panchayat to engage young people in productive activities and prevent drug misuse.

To enhance public awareness, the DM directed the officers to sticking the awareness pamphlets in public vehicles and school buses. A special campaign will be launched to test Ponywalas and Pithuwalas for substance abuse. Additionally, schools and colleges are to conduct the 'Nasha Mukt' pledge during assemblies to reinforce the commitment to a drug-free environment.

The DM also instructed the Tehsildars to submit reports within 15 days on the use of agricultural land for cultivating Cannabis sativa. ADC Kulbhushan Khajuria, PO ICDS Mohd. Anwar Bandey, I/C CMO Ashok Kumar, Principals of GDC, DSP (HQ) Neeraj Padyar, DSWO Sachin Sharma and Other Officers attended the meeting.

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.
