JAMMU: J&K BJP President Sat Sharma (CA) today flagged off a consignment of relief material from Jammu for the victims of the recent incessant rains, cloudbursts, and flash floods that have wreaked havoc across several districts in a compassionate gesture towards the flood-hit families of Jammu region.

BJP Vice Presidents Rajeev Charak, Rakesh Mahajan, and Rekha Mahajan, General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra and Baldev Singh Billawaria, Naresh Singh Jasrotia, Parduman Singh, and other senior leaders were present during the flagging-off ceremony.

The relief aid, comprising essential household items, food supplies, clothes, and other necessities, has been sent to the worst-affected areas where people have been left struggling for survival. The devastating floods, which claimed the lives of more than a hundred people, washed away houses, destroyed properties, household items, and livestock, virtually throwing normal life out of gear for weeks together.

Speaking on the occasion, BJP President Sat Sharma said that the party stands firmly with every distressed family in this hour of calamity. He said that the loss of human lives and property due to the recent natural disaster is deeply painful. He regretted that although one cannot bring back the lives lost, but as a responsible political and social organization, we are duty-bound to extend every possible support to those suffering.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has always emphasized that serving humanity in times of crisis is the biggest form of service, and the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir is committed to carry forward that vision. We will continue to reach out to every corner of the affected areas until normalcy is restored,” Sharma said.

Sanjita Dogra said that the sufferings of people, including the women and children in the flood-affected areas are unimaginable. She said that party’s relief teams are reaching the affected with essentials.

Baldev Singh Billawaria said that this is not just relief work, it is our moral responsibility. He stressed that the BJP family will remain on the ground until the last affected household gets adequate support.

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.
