  • Prominent citizens join BJP at Trikuta Nagar

JAMMU: Prominent persons from Ward No. 37 today joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, in the presence of senior party leaders.

He was joined by BJP Vice-President Rashpaul Verma, General Secretary Baldev Singh Billawaria, MLA Sham Lal Sharma, Ex-Councilor JMC Sunita Gupta, Mandal President Sahil Gupta and other senior activists. The joining was facilitated by Ex-Councilor Sunita Gupta.

Welcoming the new members, Sat Sharma said that the decision of these respected individuals from Ward 37 to join the BJP reflects the growing trust of people from all walks of life in the party’s policies of nationalism, development, and social service. “BJP is not merely a political organization; it is a movement dedicated to serving the nation and uplifting the poor, marginalized, and needy sections of society. The enthusiasm of people to join our ranks shows that BJP has become the first choice for those who truly wish to contribute to the progress of society and the nation,” he added.

Sham Lal Sharma said that BJP has always stood for transparency, accountability, and good governance. He emphasized that those who associate themselves with the party also take up the responsibility of working at the grassroots level to redress public grievances and strengthen democratic values.

Speaking on the occasion, the newly joined members expressed gratitude towards the party leadership for accepting them into the BJP family. They assured that they would work with full dedication to spread the party’s message, serve the people without any discrimination, and contribute their best in taking forward the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a strong and self-reliant India.

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.
