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

PULWAMA: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary (Organization), J&K, Ashok Koul, initiated a Swachhta Abhiyan from the holy Shrine of Hazrat Rakun Din (RA), Ziyarat Rangmullah, Pulwama as a part of the ongoing Seva Pakhwada being observed across the Union Territory to mark the 75th birthday of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Ashok Koul was accompanied by General Secretary Anwar Khan, Secretary Mudasir Wani, District President Showkat Gayoor, senior leaders Javid Qadri, Sajad Rana, Lateef Bhat, Irshad Bhat, and the Pulwama district team.

Speaking on the occasion, Ashok Koul said that the Seva Pakhwada reflects the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has always emphasized that politics is not merely about power, but about service to the people. He said that on the occasion of the 75th birthday of our beloved Prime Minister, every activist must take a pledge to dedicate themselves to the welfare of society. Swachhata drives, medical camps, blood donation, plantation, and social awareness programmes are the need of the hour, as they directly touch the lives of common people, he said.

Anwar Khan highlighted that the Seva Pakhwada is a festival of service, through which BJP workers are connecting with the grassroots. By engaging in such programmes, we strengthen the bond between society and organization while working for a clean, healthy, and progressive Jammu & Kashmir, he stated.

Showkat Gayoor said that the Pulwama unit is committed to carrying forward the mission of the party by actively implementing service activities and strengthening organizational networks in the district. We are determined to reach every booth and every household with both service and message, he added.

Later, Ashok Koul chaired a detailed organizational review meeting at the district party office, Pulwama. The discussions focused on booth-level strengthening, capacity building of office bearers, and better coordination to ensure effective public outreach. He urged workers to maintain close contact with the people and act as true ambassadors of the party’s service-oriented approach.

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.
