  • Asks for speedy redressal of local grievances, timely completion of dev projects

ANANTNAG: Secretary, Information, Rehana Batul, today convened a public outreach programme at Kular, Anantnag to provide a platform to the local residents to raise their issues and concerns for redressal.

The camp was attended by Additional Deputy Commissioner, Executive Engineers, Chief Medical Officer, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Assistant Commissioner and other concerned officers besides public.

During the event, the locals and various public representatives highlighted their grievances related to Health, Education, Irrigation, Water Supply and Forest Rights Act implementation.

The objective of holding these public outreach programmes and field visits by senior government functionaries is to make the governance machinery, especially at grass roots level, more responsive, effective and citizen centric.

The Secretary issued on the spot instructions to the concerned officers to ensure that the issues projected during the programme are resolved at the earliest. She also asked them to involve the local public representatives in formulation and implementation of development programmes so that need specific schemes are implemented.

Rehana Batul also had a detailed review of all ongoing development projects in the area. She asked the officers to ensure that these vital works are completed in time while maintaining the set quality parameters.

She said that these initiatives are aimed to facilitate the people with direct interaction with the government authorities for redressal of their grievances. She also emphasised upon the public to participate in all such grievance redressal camps for enhanced development of their areas. Later, the Secretary also inspected the Primary Health Centre Sallar where she interacted with the medical staff and patients.

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.
