JAMMU: BJP National Secretary and MLA Dr. Narinder Singh today declared a contribution of ₹1 Crore to intensify relief and rehabilitation measures for those affected by the recent floods. The announcement was made at the BJP headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, in the presence of BJP National General Secretary & J&K Prabhari Tarun Chugh, J&K BJP President Sat Sharma (CA), MP (Lok Sabha) Jugal Kishore Sharma, along with several senior party functionaries.

The allocated amount will be directed towards restoration and reconstruction of essential public infrastructure and addressing the large-scale destruction caused by continuous rains, flash floods, and other calamities that have disrupted daily life and livelihoods across the Union Territory.

Commending the initiative, Tarun Chugh stressed that the disaster has inflicted severe hardship and it is the duty of public representatives to extend prompt and effective assistance. He further said that the BJP has always stood by its principle of “service before self,” and this contribution is a true embodiment of that commitment.

Sat Sharma underlined that BJP legislators and leaders are working hand in hand with the affected population, not only ensuring urgent relief but also focusing on sustainable rehabilitation. He reiterated that the party will remain steadfast with every citizen in this difficult time and will ensure continued support until normalcy returns.

Dr. Narinder Singh explained that this financial support is more than a monetary allocation, it symbolizes the party’s solidarity with the people. He stressed that rebuilding damaged infrastructure and restoring livelihoods remain the foremost objectives and assured that the resources will be utilized entirely for the benefit of the affected families.

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.
