The Survival Fight of JK Monitor: For 16 years, JK Monitor has chronicled Jammu and Kashmir with integrity. 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. We appeal to well-wishers to extend a helping hand to keep our active newsroom alive. Support Us: WhatsApp: +91-9906103001 | Email: journalistajmerwani@gmail.com

JAMMU: Abhijeet Singh Jasrotia, Spokesperson, J&K BJP addressed a meeting of Basohli Mandal as the Returning Officer (RO) of BJP Pahari Zila in the party’s ‘Sangathan Parv’. Meeting witnessed the threadbare discussions on the preparations regarding the elections at the Mandal level under the Sangathan Parv in Basholi for Mandal Representative. MLA Darshan Thakur, District Vice President (ARO) Sumesh Spolia, District General Secretary (ARO) Sohan Lal Gupta, District Public Secretary Rajeshwar Singh and other senior leaders of the party were also present in the meeting.

Abhijeet Singh Jasrotia, while reviewing the preparations regarding Sangathan Parv said that after the Membership Drive under the Sangathan Parv of the party, the party leaders now have a new task to elect new office bearers for the party. BJP is not like other political parties run by a single family. BJP is a truly democratic party, where any ground-level worker can rise to the top post with sheer dedication and hard work. He asked the senior leaders of the party to make the election process fair and work to elect the right person for the right task, who can further increase and strengthen the party base.

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