  • Youth from Dansal joined National Conference 

DANSAL: In a major boost to the National Conference (NC), a several number of youth from the Dansal area joined the party in a function organized today. The event was coordinated by Junaid and Mohinder Kumar Rana Joint Secretary Central Zone, where the enthusiastic youth, impressed by the policies and vision of the party, pledged their support in the presence of Tejinder Pal Singh Aman, Provincial President of the Youth National Conference (YNC).  

Speaking on the occasion, the youth apprised Tejinder Pal Singh Aman about the pressing issues they face due to a lack of basic facilities. They highlighted the dire need for improved public transport, stating that the absence of regular bus services on the Dansal- Kishanpur route severely affects students commuting to schools and colleges. At present, only one bus operates in the morning and one in the evening, making it extremely difficult for students to manage their studies efficiently.  

The youth also raised concerns over the absence of a well-equipped Public Health Centre (PHC) in the area, which has forced residents to travel long distances for medical treatment. They emphasized that despite repeated pleas, the previous regime has failed to address these critical issues, leaving the people in distress.  

Addressing the gathering, Tejinder Pal Singh Aman lauded the youth for their enthusiasm and assured them that their concerns would be taken up with the party’s high command. He emphasized that the National Conference, under the leadership of Young and dynamic Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, has always prioritized the welfare of youth and is committed to resolving their grievances.  

The Provincial President YNC urged the newly joined members to actively participate in strengthening the party at the grassroots level and assured them that the NC will continue to fight for their rights. "The National Conference has a strong legacy of working for the people, and we will ensure that the youth of J&K are provided with the necessary infrastructure and opportunities for a better future," he asserted. 

Mohinder Kumar Rana Joint Secretary Central Zone, Sahil Kerni, Muzamil Malik, Yashir Ashan, Attal Singh and Sunil Sharma they emphasized the need to strengthen the party at gross root level and hoped that the people were joining the party would work for the betterment of the party in their respective areas.

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.
