SHOPIAN: Police in Shopian organised a one-day Capacity Building Programme for drivers deployed on police vehicles at the District Training Centre (DTC) DPL  Shopian, with the objective of enhancing their driving skills, discipline, professionalism and operational efficiency.

The programme covered various important aspects, including safe driving practices, conduct and discipline, vehicle maintenance, traffic regulations, accident response, maintenance of log books and the vital role of police drivers in ensuring effective policing. Special emphasis was laid on adherence to traffic rules, defensive driving techniques, regular vehicle inspection, proper documentation and professional conduct while performing official duties.

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.
