JAMMU: Members of the Bua Baba Committee from Baba Talab  met with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at Raj Bhavan. During the meeting, Dr. Nirmal Singh, the head of the committee, presented a picture of Baba Jitto and Bua Kaudi to the Lieutenant Governor. The primary focus of their discussion was on the development and upkeep of Baba Talab, a revered site associated with Baba Jitto and Bua Kaudi.

Dr. Nirmal Singh highlighted several concerns, particularly emphasizing the need for improved cleanliness and security measures at Baba Jitto's Amrit Sarovar. He expressed regret that recent neglect had led to tragic incidents, including the drowning of a child in the pond last month. To prevent such accidents in the future, he urged the Lieutenant Governor to consider installing protective grills around the Amrit Sarovar.

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha attentively listened to the committee's concerns and assured them of his commitment to addressing these issues. He pledged efforts towards the development and enhancement of Baba Talab, acknowledging its cultural and religious significance to the community. The meeting underscored the committee's proactive stance in advocating for the preservation and improvement of sacred sites, ensuring they remain safe and accessible for all devotees and visitors.

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.
