  • Gurez is all set to write history this time. Dynastic politics has been rejected here: Darakhshan

SRINAGAR: J&K Waqf Board Chairperson & BJP National Executive Member Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi  who is camping in Gurez since many days today welcomed Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on his arrival to the border valley on the last day of election campaign. BJP Gurez candidate Fakir Mohammad Khan accompanied Andrabi. The defense Minister was accorded a very welcome by the huge gathering who led him in a procession to the rally sight amid loud sloganeering. Rajnath Singh Ji congratulated & thanked the people of Shina valley for this unforgettable love and affection.

"I am witnessing a historical change at the ground level in here since 2019. This concrete response is the democratic endorsement of the positive changes which happened in J&K post 2019, paving way for the transformation of the areas which lacked development. The sea of people in BJP rally in Gurez speaks louder than words", said Rajnath Singh. He sketched the roadmap of the Modi Government for the special areas like Gurez with prioritised developmental  programmes and initiatives. "We assure you all a future of security, peace, development, stability and economic boost in coming days.

It is the BJP only which has the will and power to transform border areas with special infrastructural development projects", said Rajnath Singh. In her welcome address Dr Darakhshan Andrabi  said that BJP's win from this border constituency will be a powerful reply to those dynastic parties who have used politics as a tool of coercion and corruption. "Gurez is all set to write history this time. Dynastic politics has been rejected here.

Those who represented this constituency for decades deprived this place from development and progress. Fakir Mohammad Khan will be the new MLA from here & the mission of transformation of Gurez will get a boost", said Darakhshan. She said that all worked hard and she expressed gratitude to all leaders & workers who toiled hard at the ground level during past many days for seeking support for BJP candidate.

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.
