Since 2010, I have steered its newsroom alongside our visionary Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan (IIT Kharagpur alumnus, University of Maryland Ph.D.). His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum. Without urgent support, our 24/7 news portal risks permanently shutting down after November 2026, remaining only as a static digital archive.

SRINAGAR: In a powerful display of national unity and solidarity, a 17-member delegation of the Socialist Party (India), led by renowned social activist and National Vice-President Sandeep Pandey, recently met with Dr. Farooq Abdullah, President of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, at Nawa-e-Subah Srinagar to extend unwavering support to the people and government of Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.

The delegation unequivocally condemned the cowardly act of terror that claimed innocent lives, describing it as an attack not only on Kashmir but on the soul of India. Offering heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, the Socialist Party reaffirmed its commitment to peace, unity, and national integrity.

Dr. Abdullah thanked the delegation for their show of solidarity and emphasized that terrorism will never break the spirit of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who have always stood for peace, brotherhood, and resilience. He called upon all political and social forces across India to stand united in the fight against extremism.

Sandeep Pandey, speaking on behalf of the delegation, said, “This is not just about Jammu and Kashmir – this is about India. We must rise above political and regional lines to defend the values enshrined in our Constitution: peace, justice, and human dignity. The Socialist Party stands shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in Kashmir.”

In a joint statement, both leaders called for a renewed national commitment to peace and development, asserting that the future of Jammu and Kashmir lies in dialogue, democracy, and inclusive progress. They urged citizens across the country to reject hate and violence and to work towards building a stronger, more united India.

The meeting concluded with a solemn pledge to uphold the ideals of unity in diversity, support the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and safeguard the democratic fabric of the nation from divisive forces.

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.
