SRINAGAR: District Judiciary Srinagar, in collaboration with the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Srinagar, today organized a special cleanliness drive within the premises of the District Court Srinagar under the banner of the nationwide campaign “Swachhata Hi Seva”. The initiative was undertaken as part of the nationwide efforts to spread the message of cleanliness, hygiene, and environmental consciousness, and to reaffirm building a clean and responsible society. 

The programme not only focused on maintaining the sanctity of the court premises but also sought to inspire a culture of collective responsibility among those present, reminding all that the principles of justice are best upheld in an environment of discipline, orderliness, and cleanliness.  The drive was held under the chairmanship of Principal District and Sessions Judge, Srinagar, Tasleem Arief and was conducted under the supervision of  Sub-Judge/Secretary, DLSA Srinagar, Sajad Ur Rehman.

On this occasion, Tasleem Arief symbolically marked the importance of environmental protection by planting a sapling within the premises of the District Court Srinagar. The plantation ceremony was carried out in the presence of Sub-Judge/Secretary, DLSA Srinagar, Chief Administrative Officer, District Court Srinagar, Rubina Akhter, officials, Legal Aid Defense Counsels, Para Legal Volunteers of DLSA Srinagar, and the dedicated safai karamcharis who play a vital role in ensuring cleanliness on a daily basis.

The gathering of staff, and volunteers under one roof for such an initiative reflected a collective will to promote sustainable practices, cleanliness, and self-discipline thereby reinforcing the spirit of Swachhata Hi Seva.

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.
