JAMMU: District Legal Services Authority, Jammu in commemoration of Gandhi Jayanti, held a Cleanliness and plantation drive in the premises of District Court Complex Janipur, Jammu today on the 2nd October, 2025.

The event started with the floral tribute to the Father of the Nation ā€œMahatma Gandhiā€ by Y. P. Bourney, Chairman District Legal Services Authority Jammu in the presence of other Ld. Judicial Officers of District Jammu, symbolizing that the light of truth and justice shall always be the guiding force in the present times.

. Y. P. Bourney, Principal District and Sessions Judge Jammu (Chairman, DLSA Jammu) while interacting with the gathering highlighted Gandhi Ji’s thoughts on truth, non-violence and cleanliness. He emphasized that cleanliness should begin with our own bodies, then to our homes and finally to the outside world. He shared a powerful message about maintaining a clean environment.

A Plantation drive was also organised within the District Court Campus, where all Ld. Judicial officers planted the saplings and gave a message to make a positive impact on the environment as it is a right time to reflect on the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and strive for peace and harmony in everyone's life.

In a heartwarming gesture, Pr. District and Sessions Judge Y. P. Bourney presented refreshment boxes to the dedicated Safai karamcharis of District Court Complex, acknowledging their hard work and contributions.

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.
