His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum.

JAMMU: Reminding the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, that more than two months have passed but not even a single poll promise as contained in the election manifesto of NC is implemented, Sunil Sharma, Leader of Opposition, said that Omar Abdullah should take pity on the people and start doing something constructive in the UT.

Sunil Sharma said that the NC had misled the innocent people of Jammu and Kashmir during the 2024 assembly election campaigning on false promises projecting itself as a master with magic stick who would bring down moon and establish jannat here. He said that after winning election and forming government, both the NC and the Chief minister have utterly failed to realize the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and take effective steps to provide any kind of relief.

Sunil Sharma said it seems that the Chief Minister and others enjoying ministerial posts are satisfied and happy that they achieved what have been their dreams of assuming power and that they have no accountability now.

Leader of Opposition further said that simply holding media interaction and making no announcement relating to the poll promises itself speaks that the Chief Minister is not in mood to start any work aimed at public welfare and development, which is very unfortunate. He said that people are eagerly looking towards the CM daily and waiting to hear anything good from him but are feeling betrayed.

"The people have seen the real face of NC and feeling cheated as there is not any signal of something good going to take place in near future", Sunil said, adding that the voters had voted NC with very high hopes but all dashed to ground which is visible from the working of the government.  Sunil Sharma appealed to the people not to get misled again in the future assembly bi-election and Panchayat, ULB elections and teach NC lesson for ditching them.

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.
