KISHTWAR: Jammu and Kashmir BJP General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Koul chaired a meeting of the Dachhan Mandal in Kishtwar to review the functioning of the party organisation at the grassroots level and strengthen public outreach across the area.

The meeting was attended by Kishtwar Prabhari Gajay Singh, District President Ravi Kumar Parihar, MLA Kishtwar Shagun Parihar, and other senior party leaders and workers. Detailed discussions were held on organisational activities, participation of party workers, strengthening coordination at the Mandal level, and making the party’s outreach to the people more effective.

Ashok Koul, while, addressing the meeting, emphasised the importance of a strong and active organisation at the grassroots. He said that Mandal-level workers are the backbone of the party and play a vital role in maintaining continuous contact with the people.

“Every worker must remain connected with the people and understand their concerns. Our organisational strength is reflected in our presence at the grassroots. We must ensure that the benefits of government initiatives and development programmes reach the people, while their issues and aspirations are effectively communicated through the organisational mechanism,” Koul said.

Koul called upon party workers to work with dedication, discipline and a spirit of service, while further intensifying public contact programmes in remote and rural areas of Kishtwar.

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.
