JAMMU: Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) Dr. Devansh Yadav today issued directives to all departmental officers and officials to stay on high alert in view of the heavy rains and storm forecast for Jammu. Special instructions were given to transport officers to ensure the prompt removal of fallen trees, poles, and other damaged infrastructure/debris from roads to prevent any untoward incidents. “There should be no loss of life or property during this period,” the Commissioner emphasized.

The heightened alert applies specifically to Zones 1, 2, and 3, with the Corporation actively monitoring the situation and coordinating efforts to ensure public safety. To support citizens during this time, JMC has provided two dedicated helpline numbers for emergency assistance: 94697 48042, 94193 72824. Residents are advised to stay indoors during severe weather and to report any emergencies or infrastructure-related issues to the helpline numbers provided.

The Jammu Municipal Corporation is committed to the safety and well-being of its citizens and urges everyone to remain vigilant and cooperate with local authorities. It is also pertinent to mention that separate JMC teams have surveyed affected areas, identifying fallen trees and damaged infrastructure. These teams are actively engaged in clearance and restoration work across roads and lanes in the city.

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.
