JAMMU:  Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), Dr. Devansh Yadav today inspected the newly developed green strip and walkway constructed along the canal at Bagad Mandi, Channi Himmat.

The project has been executed under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) and as part of JMC’s ongoing efforts to create green spaces across Jammu city and enhance environmental quality.

The stretch of the canal was earlier being used for open dumping of garbage, resulting in unhygienic conditions and environmental pollution in the surrounding area.

After the removal of the garbage dump, the Jammu Municipal Corporation has successfully transformed the site by developing a green strip and constructing a pedestrian-friendly walkway along the canal.

The initiative has not only improved the aesthetic appeal of the area but has also provided a clean and pleasant space for residents to take morning and evening walks.

To further beautify the location and promote civic sense, murals conveying messages on cleanliness, environmental protection and responsible civic behaviour have been painted on the adjoining wall.

During the inspection, the Commissioner interacted with locals and emphasized that sustained cleanliness can only be achieved through active public participation. He urged locals and shopkeepers living near the canal to refrain from dumping garbage into the water body and to cooperate with the Municipal Corporation in keeping water sources clean and pollution-free.

Joint Commissioner Health and Sanitation, Abdul Sattar, Joint Commissioner (W), Firdous Ahmed Qazi, Executive Engineer Division-5, Yasir Bashir Kichloo, Executive Engineer (Electrical), Simarpal Singh, IEC In-charge, Dr. Divya Sharma, other concerned officials and locals were present on the occasion.

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.
