JAMMU: Police Hospital Jammu under the leadership of Dr. Meenakshi Kotwal, Medical Superintendent celebrated the Raising Day of the Police Hospital Jammu. During the celebration, sweets were distributed among all the Doctors, Para-medical/office staff of PHJ who were found to be in great enthusiasm. 

Police Hospital Jammu initially started functioning way back in the year 1964 as a dispensary with one pharmacist and one nursing orderly. With the change of time and enhancement of strength of J&K Police, a Medical Officer was posted in the year 1980 to cater the requirement of in-service/retired police personnel and their dependents. 

The said dispensary was thereafter up-graded to the status of a 20-beded hospital vide Govt. order No.Home-361 (Police) of 1979 dated 27.07.1979. Since then, this hospital is providing services to the serving/retired police personnel and their family members round the clock. The establishment of Police Hospital Jammu on 27th July marks a great achievement towards extending better healthcare services to the police personnel both in-service/retired as well as to their dependents.

Meanwhile, a plantation drive was also carried out in the premises of PHJ with the assistance of J&K Forest Department during which a high quality (hybrid) fruit plant was planted. In this way a precedence has been set to celebrate this day now onwards with great fervor and with the spirit of leading this hospital to new heights by achieving new benchmarks.

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.
