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

JAMMU: Chandigarh: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today lambasted the Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab for facilitating the life of gangsters in prisons. Reacting strongly to the SIT report submitted to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chugh said it clearly exposed the police-gangster nexus in the state.

Chugh said that such a situation could not arrive without political patronage to the gangsters. As the SIT report has indicated that Lawrence Bishnoi interview happened at a time when he was in the custody of CIA in Kharar it proves beyond doubt that the police has been hand-in-glove with the gangster.

Chugh said the law and order situation in the state has completely collapsed as there has been a series of incidents of loot and ransom every other day. He said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who is also the state Home Minister,  owes an explanation to the people of the state in view of the findings of the SIT report.

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.
