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: Sunil Dimple, President of Mission Statehood, today led a strong anti-Pakistan protest rally at Rehari Chungi, condemning the killing of two Army jawans in Kulgam and the fresh encounters with terrorists underway in Kishtwar and Kulgam. Protesters burnt Pakistani flags and effigies, raising slogans against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

Speaking to the media, Dimple alleged that after “Operation Sindoor,” two brave Army jawans were martyred and several others injured during a gun battle in Kulgam today. He claimed that a fresh encounter with terrorists had also begun in Kishtwar, where police conducted raids at 26 houses and recovered a large cache of ammunition.

Dimple demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi restore Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood so that an elected government can take direct control of counter-terrorism operations. He urged the PM to pass a resolution in Parliament to launch “Operation Sindoor,” carry out surgical strikes, and wage a decisive war against Pakistan to liberate Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Gilgit, and Baltistan from what he called “illegal occupation.”

He further appealed to the Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police, Nalin Prabhat, to intensify anti-terrorist search operations in both Kashmir and the Jammu region, including Samba, Kathua, Poonch, and Rajouri, where, he alleged, daily infiltration attempts occur and heavy ammunition has been recovered.

Senior Mission Statehood leaders Narender Chowdhary, Sanjay Kumar, Sanjeev, Baba Gupta, Parveen Kumar, Rajesh Kumar, Happy Kumar, Sunny Kumar, Rocky Kapoor, S. Ricky Singh, and others also participated in the protest.

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.
