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: National Conference party is running a government that is visionless and directionless government, said Sunil Sethi, Chief Spokesperson, J&K BJP during a press conference at BJP Headquarters, Jammu. Adv. Sunil Sethi, was accompanied by Spokespersons Dr Tahir Chowdhary, & Balbir Ram Rattan and Media Incharge Dr Pardeep Mahotra.

During the recent Assembly elections, the BJP got a major vote share in Jammu as well as in the Kashmir region. Even if the party is not in government, the BJP stands steadfast on all the promises it made with the voters in its election manifesto as those promises are the commitments of the party with the people of J&K made after thorough discussions with all financial considerations, said Sethi.

On the other hand, NC is heading a visionless, directionless government in J&K. He said that the party has failed miserably on all the fronts of public importance. It failed in delivering to its poll promises mentioned in its manifesto. In the past 2 months, the NC government has not paid any heed towards the public issues, be it water, electricity, jobs, tourism, or projects to be undertaken in Jammu & Kashmir. It lacks commitment and will to do work. Instead of working for the welfare of the people, NC is making lame excuses and jeopardizing the security and development progress in J&K.

NC has developed a leadership crisis in these times and may break down in the coming time. The CM has lost the faith of its senior leaders as it miserably fails in its promises which were made without any roadmap to fulfil them. Promises without financial planning are doomed to fail like in Delhi and Punjab. They tried to give a political angle to certain public issues like that of ropeway, and the role of Dy CM is questionable in these matters.

In 2025, the BJP will emerge as an even stronger force and popular among the people as it stands with them in all even-odds. The BJP will be victorious in all the upcoming polls like ULB, and Panchayat. BJP is taking many new steps for the development in Jammu & Kashmir like to ensure more tourists in the region with the increasing work on the roads and railways network. A Train develops many villages, towns, and cities in its course. The Katra-Delhi Road will help to improve the transport of people as well as the goods.

Regarding youth, the BJP is also working with the Union government on increasing jobs in the region and making efforts for more recruitment drives. BJP has worked for the socio-economic welfare of women through a multi-pronged approach. The people support the party for its pro-people approach and have given massive vote shares in all the elections in 2024 and the party will ensure that this faith increases in 2025.

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.
