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: Dr. Narinder Singh, MLA RS Pura-Jammu South & BJP National Secretary, held a public darbar at J&K BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. Deputations poured in increasing numbers to share their issues with the senior leader of party and requested for the quick disposal of the issues.

Among other issues, a deputation from Gangyal requested for the construction of the Central drain. 2 deputations from Nanak Nagar, and Patel Nagar requested for repair of lane & drain. A deputation requested for the creation of a Wrestling Coach at Bana Singh Stadium, RS Pura. A deputation of Karan Bagh apprised the senior leader of the disrupted water supply for the last 3 days. A deputation requested for the removal of illegal occupation at Old Satwari. A deputation from Jallochak requested for the Land Compensation.

While listening to the grievances of the people, the BJP National Secretary Dr. Narinder Singh reiterated the party’s commitment to the welfare of the people. He said that the BJP works with the sole motto of ensuring the welfare of the people who were left neglected and in the last division of the marginalized sections. He said that the Modi government has chalked out all its public welfare policies to provide relief to those needy people, forming the basis of its ever-growing popularity among the masses.

While speaking on the public darbar, he shared that many issues presented by the people were sorted out on the spot and oral and written communications were made with the concerned departments for the rest issues.

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.
