JAMMU:  Expressing concern over poor road condition, and unscheduled power cuts, the Apni Party Spokesperson, and General Secretary of the Youth Wing, Abhay Bakaya criticized the ignorance of the concerned authorities towards the over development of ward number 71 in Tawi Vihar, Sidhra. As per a press release, Abhay said that the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) has failed to do justice with the people in Tawi Vihar as the area remains neglected regarding basic amenities that are to be provided by the concerned Govt departments.

He said that the condition of roads, erratic power cuts, and irregular drinking water supply system has emerged as a major concern for the residents of Tawi Vihar. “The people have moved from post to pillar so that they could be heard, but they were not given heed by the authorities,” he said. He pointed out the potholes in the roads, water logging which have become breeding ground for mosquitoes during the monsoon season, irregular drinking water and unscheduled power cuts have put normal life out of gear.

He demanded immediate redressal of the issues, and proper repair work of the road at ward number 71, Tawi Vihar in Sidhra. He said that the locality is suffering because of no elected representative in Sidhra after the completion of tenure of the elected representatives in Jammu Municipal Corporation.

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.
