SRINAGAR:  Following the directions of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Srinagar, Dr Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat, the Food Safety Department intensified market checking across the City in order to ensure the highest Food Safety and Hygiene Standards across all sectors. A team led by Assistant Commissioner, Yameen ul Nabi carried out intensive inspections of bakery shops in various areas of Srinagar District, including, Safa Kadal, Sakedafar, Nawakadal, Rajori Kadal, Nowhatta and other adjoining areas.

During the inspections, some products were found to be over dated and were destroyed by the Food Business Operators (FBOs)  voluntarily on the spot. The main aim of the drive is to maintain a close vigil on the quality of food products being manufactured and sold at retail outlets.   To ensure that all food products meet the highest safety standards, Food Safety Department directed all FBOs to adhere to Food Safety norms and storage practices.  Any FBO found compromising with quality or storage practices will be dealt with strictly as per the provisions of the Food Safety Act, the department said.

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.
