JAMMU: President of All J&K Jatt Sabha and former Minister, S. Manjit Singh, has demanded a probe into the tragic death of Anjali Choudhary near Udhampur. Ms. Choudhary was heading for a picnic with her GDC Gandhi Nagar colleagues when she fell off a moving bus carrying students of the college in Udhampur district. They were en route to the famous picnic spot, Patnitop.
āThe facts must come before the public, and responsibility must be fixed for the loss of a bright student who was the only daughter of her parents,ā S. Manjit Singh said in a statement, expressing shock over the incident. He said that the incident has shaken parents, raising concerns about the safety of their children during picnics and other events organized by educational institutions.
He further stated that the government must fix responsibility and punish those responsible for failing to protect the precious life of a young girl. It is strange to understand how a window was open while the bus was moving, and the student fell out of it, sustaining a fatal injury that led to her death, he said. He also urged the government to hold the management of the concerned college accountable for its failure to ensure the safety and security of the students.
In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory Ā· Dr. Priya Ranjan
When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.
Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soulāhumble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.
For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
