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

JAMMU: The BJP National General Secretary and Incharrge of J&K affairs, Tarun Chugh, on Friday said that fire crackers will be burnt on 8th of October in Delhi and not in Karachi. It may be mentioned that the results for Assembly elections will be declared on 8th of October. Chugh said that NC and Cong have been working on Pakistani agenda and want to revive terrorism and separatism in J&K.

ā€œBJP, right since day one, has consistently been saying that NC-Cong alliance is working on Pak agenda,ā€ he said, and added, ā€œOur stand has been vindicated by the Defence Minister of Pakistan Khawaja Asif, who said that Pakistan fully supports NC-Cong allianceā€. NC says that it will release jailed terrorists and stone pelters and its alliance partner Cong is mum over this which means it also fully supports NC, he said.

People of J&K have come to know the evil designs of NC-Cong and will teach these dynastic parties a lesson in these Assembly elections, the BJP National General Secretary said. ā€œThe heavy voter turn out in the first 2 phases of Assembly elections clearly establishes that people have rejected NC-Cong alliance,ā€ Chugh said, while adding, ā€œThe trends and ground report of the 2 phases clearly indicate that BJP will form next govt in J&Kā€.

He said, ā€œOn 8th of October, fire crackers will be burnt in Delhi and not in Karachi as Pakistani backed parties i.e NC-Cong alliance will be defeatedā€. Chugh said that BJP abrogated Article 370 after which there is nearly 70% decline in terror activities and there is peace in J&K. Development is taking place at a fast pace in J&K after abrogation of Article 370, he said.

ā€œBoth NC and Cong want to bring back Article 370 and push J&K towards terrorism and unrest,ā€ Chugh said, while adding, ā€œBJP will never allow this to happen at any cost and it may be noted that Aricle 370 is history nowā€.  Chugh said that cinemas have started operating in Kashmir after 3 decades and Tiranga is also being hoisted in Lal Chowk. ā€œFrom terrorist hub J&K has now become tourist hub,ā€ Chugh said, and added, ā€œFilm shootings have also started in Kashmir after decadesā€. Record number of 2 cr tourists have visited Kashmir in last year, he said adding that people are with development agenda of PM Modi.

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.
