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.

JAMMU: Continuing the spirit of solidarity and service, three truckloads of relief material were today received by Jammu & Kashmir BJP for distribution among families affected by the recent floods. The relief consignment was sent by BJP Maharashtra under the leadership of its President, Ravinder Chouhan.

The trucks, carrying essential items including daily necessities, were formally received at Industrial Area Gangyal by J&K BJP President Sat Sharma (CA). He was accompanied by party General Secretaries Baldev Singh Billawaria and Gopal Mahajan, District President Naresh Singh, Relief Store Incharge Ramesh Gupta, Deepak Gupta, and other senior leaders of the party.

Speaking on the occasion, Sat Sharma expressed gratitude to BJP Maharashtra for extending timely help to the people of Jammu & Kashmir in this hour of distress. He said that the relief material will be promptly dispatched to the flood-hit regions to ensure that the affected families receive immediate support. He said that the priority is to reach out to those who have lost their homes, belongings, and means of livelihood. BJP stands firmly with every family in their struggle for rehabilitation, he said.

Sharma further informed that more consignments from Maharashtra and other states are expected in the coming days. These supplies will strengthen ongoing relief efforts being carried out by the party, its volunteers, and social organizations working in coordination with the local administration.

Baldev Billawaria said that the BJP is committed to serving the people of Jammu & Kashmir and will continue to mobilize resources from across the country until normalcy is restored in the flood-affected areas. Gopal Mahajan stressed that the distribution will be carried out in a transparent and organized manner so that maximum benefit reaches those in real need.

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.
