In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

JAMMU: Arun Gupta, Spokesperson, J&K BJP, stated that the tragic Pulwama incident in 2019, strengthened our resolve for zero tolerance towards terror related activities. He said that February 14, 2019, was black day in Indian history when 40 brave CRPF personnel were martyred at Pulwama on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. Arun Gupta, Spokesperson, J&K BJP, accompanied by Balbir Ram Rattan, Spokesperson, and Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, Media Incharge was addressing a Press Conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

ā€œIndia has strongly carried out the zero-tolerance policy by undertaking surgical strikes, air strike along with other counter measures to send a stern message to the neighbouring country that India is capable of giving befitting reply to any attempt posing threat to the security forces and the civilians.ā€, said Arun Gupta. He said that after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, much progress has been achieved in the security and peace measures in J&K. He said that Pakistan has been consistently trying desperately to destabilize peace in Jammu and Kashmir through terrorism.

Arun Gupta said that India has achieved peace through stringent measures and will do whatever is required to be done to keep it stable, as and when such need arises. He laid stress on the streamlined strengthening of the multi-faceted security grid by India covering coastal security, narcotics, cybercrime, or economic security.

ā€œIndia has to achieve Viksit Bharat by 2047, and a multi-faceted security strengthening will play a very significant role in stabilizing the economy and ensuring constant growth in the country. To achieve this, the security forces are performing their role very effectively, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the effective measures taken by the Union Home Minister and Defence Minister of India.,ā€ said Arun Gupta. Arun Gupta also stressed that India is prepared for any eventuality and sacrifice of our brave martyrs will not go in vain, adding that the nation is indebted to them.

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.
