JAMMU: Jammu Development Authority (JDA) today conducted the draw of lots for allotment of a 2-BHK residential flat at JDA Heights Phase-II reserved under the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) category. Ajay Gupta emerged as the successful allottee.

The draw, held under the housing scheme advertised by the Authority in March 2023, was conducted in the Conference Hall of JDA at Vikas Bhawan Jammu in presence of all eligible applicants and their family members, under the supervision of senior JDA officers.

Against the single flat reserved under the category, four applicants had submitted applications through the online portal in April 2023. These were scrutinised by the competent authority and found eligible for the draw.

Speaking on the occasion Jammu Development Authority Vice Chairman Rupesh Kumar said, the draw marked another step towards transparent and accountable governance, resolving a long-pending matter relating to the PwBD-category flat. He added that JDA remained committed to equal opportunity for eligible applicants and to addressing pending public matters expeditiously. Ajay Gupta thanked JDA for conducting the process transparently and impartially, saying it had strengthened public confidence in the system.

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.
