RAMBAN: Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) Ramban, along with MVD Doda, conducted a joint enforcement drive at Karol along National Highway-44 today.

ARTO Ramban supervised the drive to ensure compliance with the Motor Vehicles Act and promote road safety during the ongoing Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra.

During the drive, 42 vehicles were checked for compliance with traffic rules and road safety norms. Eight vehicles were e-challaned for violations under the Motor Vehicles Act, with an expected penalty of ₹69,000, and two driving licences were recommended for suspension for serious violations.

ARTO Ramban advised vehicle owners and drivers to follow traffic regulations, carry valid documents and keep their vehicles roadworthy to avoid legal action.

The MVD said such joint drives in coordination with the district police and neighbouring districts, will continue across Ramban to curb traffic violations and ensure the safety of commuters and pilgrims during the Yatra.

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.
