JAMMU:  Apni Party today held an interactive session with the migrant Kashmiri Pandit voters of South Kashmir, especially Shangus assembly constituency to garner support in favour of the Party’s candidate for the above stated constituency, M.K. Yogi Ji.

The Party as a part of ongoing aggressive election campaign in Kashmir as well as in Jammu’s migrant colonies and camps held a series of similar interactive sessions to educate people about the developmental policy and agenda of the party for the welfare of the migrant community for their rehabilitation, and employment of the unemployed migrant KP youth.

In this session at Durga Nagar in Jammu District, the Party’s General Secretary, Vijay Bakaya appealed to the voters to vote for M. K. Yogi, candidate of Apni Party in Shangus Constituency.

He told the audience that Apni Party was the only Party which really wanted to empower the KP displaced persons by giving M K Yogi the mandate. He said other Parties paid only lip service.

Bakay told them that Yogi was the right choice because of his grass-roots connection and passion for public service. Many other heads of organization spoke and extolled the qualities of M K Yogi and said this opportunity when KP candidate was given mandate by a regional political Party should be availed of and Yogi should be given votes whole heartedly.

MK Yogi assured he would serve the community and the people of Shangus to the best of his ability and try to bridge the gulf between Muslims and Kashmiri pandits.

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.
