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.

JAMMU: BJP National General Secretary & J&K BJP Prabhari Tarun Chugh said that the latest action by the State Investigation Agency (SIA) in the brutal murder case of Kashmiri Pandit nurse Sarla Bhat is proof of the unshakable commitment of the Narendra Modi led central government to justice and accountability.

Chugh stated that in 1990 the forced exodus of over 1,60,000 Kashmiri Pandits was the direct responsibility of the then Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah and the then Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. It was a dark period when a climate of terror was created in the Valley and innocent lives were taken and today the same dynastic and family driven parties the National Conference, PDP and Congress are leaving no stone unturned to spread discomfort and chaos in Jammu and Kashmir once again.

Chugh said, "This is the new India, the India of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Today there is no stone pelting, no curfew in the Valley. This action is a clear and strong message to those forces that created an atmosphere of terror and fear that no one will be spared now."

He affirmed that Prime Minister Modi is determined to ensure the safety, dignity and justice for the Kashmiri Pandit community. The guilty will be punished and the victims will get justice, this is the new India, Chugh asserted.

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.
