SRINAGAR: A group of 26 probationary Indian Police Service (IPS) officers of the 77 RR batch from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) visited Jammu and Kashmir and called on the Director General of Police, Shri Nalin Prabhat.

During their interaction with the DGP and other senior officers, the young officers were briefed on the unique operational and strategic challenges faced by the J&K Police in maintaining law and order in the region. They gained valuable insights into the pivotal role played by the J&K Police in counter-terrorism efforts and ensuring public safety in one of the most sensitive areas of the country.

The visit forms an important part of their training curriculum, offering ground-level exposure and an opportunity to understand the complexities of policing in conflict-affected zones. The interaction aimed to equip the future police leaders with a broader perspective on internal security, coordination with central forces, and community engagement in sensitive regions.

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.
