BARAMULLA: In view of the upcoming Assembly Elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Media Centre, along with a Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC) and a dedicated Control Room, has been established in Baramulla. The Media Centre and MCMC, now fully operational at the District Information Office in Baramulla, mark a significant milestone in efforts to enhance transparency, accuracy, and strengthen the integrity and effectiveness of our electoral system.

The Media Centre is tasked with the crucial responsibility of disseminating real-time information related to the election, to the public, media, political parties and any other stakeholders, ensuring that all election-related developments are communicated effectively to the public.

Meanwhile, the MCMC is focused on monitoring media coverage through various sources including print media, social media, electronic media, radio and other sources, to ensure adherence to the guidelines set by the Election Commission of India (ECI), thereby maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.

The Control Room set up at the DC Office, is functioning round the clock, closely monitoring all election-related activities, and addressing any concerns that may arise during this period. This integrated approach is designed to ensure a smooth and transparent election process, guaranteeing that every event is conducted with fairness and integrity.

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.
