SRINAGAR: The Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today said that Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link Connecting Kashmir to Kanyakumari will usher a new era for Jammu Kashmir Union Territory.

The Lieutenant Governor said that world's highest Chenab Railway Bridge, a network of 36 tunnels and 943 other bridges for year-round connectivity reflects a rising Kashmir's dreams and commitment of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in shaping Jammu Kashmir Union Territory's new chapter.

“Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has created an inclusive and vibrant future for Jammu Kashmir. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Jammu Kashmir has witnessed a new dynamism in every sector and inclusive growth has ensured no section of society is left behind. Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision and speedy implementation of development projects on the ground has left a significant imprint on Jammu Kashmir's growth and what earlier seemed impossible has been made possible,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor elaborated that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited Jammu Kashmir 5 times since 2022 to inaugurate and to lay the foundation of major infrastructure projects worth Rs 64,400 Crores besides 53 projects worth Rs 58,477 Crore under PMDP, other connectivity and development projects worth thousands of Crores are setting Jammu Kashmir on a trajectory of rapid growth.

“The Rail Project worth Rs 43,780 Crores, connecting Kashmir to Kanyakumari is an engineering excellence that will create an ideal environment for trade, business, all weather transportation and I strongly believe, it’s a railway line to future,” the Lieutenant Governor observed.

The Lieutenant Governor stressed that Jammu Kashmir is poised to become a developed and Aatm-Nirbhar Union Territory under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. He said the Prime Minister’s New Vision for New Jammu Kashmir ensured rapid social and economic change and a prosperous society which treats all its citizens as equals.

“Prime Minister's Infrastructure push is aimed at driving Jammu Kashmir Union Territory's transformation, improve connectivity with other parts of the country, increase industrial activities, enhance living standards and foster broader economic participation. Connectivity brings prosperity and this historic railway line will unlock the potential of Jammu Kashmir and drive unprecedented economic growth in remote areas,” the Lieutenant Governor further added.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
