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

JAMMU: Yudhvir Sethi, Vice-President, J&K BJP & MLA Jammu East and Surinder Bhagat, MLA Marh held a public darbar at BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. A number of deputations chiefly hailing from the areas ‘in and around’ Jammu approached the BJP headquarters and presented their grievances in front of BJP MLAs. Among other issues, 5 deputations presented the issue of construction and repair of lanes and drains in Gole Gujral, Trikuta Nagar, Narwal, and Marh areas. 3 deputations presented the issue of repair and installation of street lights in Talab Tillo and Trikuta Nagar. A deputation presented an issue related to revenue department. A deputation raised concern of erratic water supply.

The senior leaders of party, resolved many issues on the spot, while communicated in oral and written way with the concerned department officials. Yudhvir Sethi, while listening to the grievances of the deputations, said that the BJP believes in serving the people on the ground level and does not mislead the public on mere political sloganeering.

“NC and other political parties have consistently misled people by making hoax promises. NC government in Jammu & Kashmir has also failed on all the fronts, while it promised moon to the people of Jammu & Kashmir in the Assembly elections through its political manifesto, it proves itself to be ‘a bunch of lies’ even after the 2 months of government formation in Jammu & Kashmir”, said Yudhvir Sethi. Surinder Bhagat, on the occasion, said that the BJP stands fully committed to the people in serving them and mitigating their issues. He urged the people to come forward and present their issues in the public Darbar so that their problems can be resolved at the earliest.

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.
