SHOPIAN: In view of the ongoing Special Summary Revision (SSR), which commenced on July 25, 2024, the District Election Office, Shopian, has once again called on the public, especially youth, to register as voters using July 1, 2024, as the qualifying date. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has set August 9, 2024, as the deadline for filing claims and objections.

Meanwhile, the District Election Officer (DEO) Shopian has urged all eligible citizens to participate in this critical democratic process and ensure their voices are heard in future elections.

Currently, Shopian district has approximately 207,000 registered voters, representing around 62% of the total population. To increase voter registration, particularly among young citizens, the district has organized special camps and numerous awareness activities during the ongoing Summary Revision for registration of new voters or changes to the Roll, resulting in the registration of around 3,000 new voters in the district.

In this context, Dr. Rashmi Singh, Commissioner Secretary to Government, Hospitality and Protocol Department and the Electoral Roll Observer for Shopian is going to visit the district on August 6, 2024 and shall be available to receive feedback from the public and political parties on the election related issues.

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.
