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

REASI: The 7th day of Sewa Parv in District Reasi saw active participation from various departments with a focus on cleanliness, health, and public welfare. The Rural Development Department (RDD) celebrated “Clean Green Utsav” with an eco-friendly and zero-waste motto, promoting sustainable practices among the citizens.

The Municipal Council Reasi conducted several initiatives under the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign. A plantation drive was held at the Old Kalka Mata Temple Heritage Area in Ward No. 3, besides cleanliness drives at the Bus Stand and around the District Sports Stadium.

Additionally, the Municipal staff carried out a door-to-door awareness campaign in Wards 7 and 8, educating residents about proper waste segregation and solid waste management.

The Health Department organized 56 screening and speciality camps across the district. Residents were screened for hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis and anemia. Child vaccinations were administered and antenatal check-ups (ANC) for women were conducted to ensure maternal and child health.

Other departments also contributed through various awareness and service activities, reinforcing the collective spirit of Sewa Parv. The week-long celebrations have seen enthusiastic participation from citizens and officials alike, reflecting Reasi’s commitment to cleanliness, health and community welfare.

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.
