BUDGAM: In compliance with the directions issued by the Secretary, District Legal Services Authority Budgam, the Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) of DLSA Budgam today visited the residence of the deceased woman at Khansahib, Budgam.

The primary objective of the visit was to extend legal awareness and provide information regarding the legal aid services and welfare schemes available to the bereaved family, particularly the daughter of the deceased. During the interaction, the PLVs sensitized the family about their legal rights and the assistance available under various legal aid mechanisms, including support in matters relating to criminal proceedings.

The team also apprised the family about the free legal services and other support measures available for the welfare and protection of the minor daughter of the deceased. The family members were assured that the Legal Services Institutions, especially DLSA Budgam, stand committed to providing all necessary legal guidance and assistance during this difficult time. The visit was conducted as part of the continuous efforts of DLSA Budgam to ensure access to justice and legal support for vulnerable and distressed families in society.

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.
