KATHUA: During his one-day visit to Kathua district, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and District Seh-Prabhari Sanjay Kumar Baru addressed the monthly meeting of district office-bearers at Hiranagar, emphasizing organizational preparedness, grassroots expansion, and effective implementation of the party's forthcoming programmes. The meeting was also addressed by BJP Kathua District President Updesh Andotra and MLA Hiranagar Adv. Vijay Sharma.

Sanjay Kumar Baru, addressing the party leaders and office-bearers, reviewed the party's organizational activities and discussed preparations for upcoming programmes, including the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign and Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Diwas, besides chalking out a strategy to further strengthen the BJP at the booth level in view of the forthcoming Urban Local Bodies and Panchayat elections in Jammu & Kashmir.

Baru stressed that a strong booth-level organization remains the foundation of the BJP's success. He called upon party workers to intensify public outreach and ensure the effective implementation of every organizational programme. He said that BJP workers must take the welfare schemes of the Modi government to every deserving household, as these initiatives have transformed the lives of the poor, farmers, women, youth, and other vulnerable sections without any discrimination.

Updesh Andotra emphasized the need for coordinated teamwork and continuous organizational expansion. She urged office-bearers to ensure the successful implementation of all forthcoming programmes with maximum public participation and to further strengthen the party structure from the district level to every booth. Adv. Vijay Sharma highlighted the BJP government's commitment to inclusive development and public welfare. He urged party workers to maintain close contact with the public, address their concerns promptly, and effectively communicate the government's development initiatives and welfare measures.

The proceedings of the meeting were conducted by District General Secretary Ravinder Sharma, while the vote of thanks was presented by BJP Hiranagar President Padha. District General Secretaries Rajesh Mehta and Gagan Singh, district office-bearers, Morcha Presidents, Mandal Presidents, and senior party leaders were also present during the meeting.

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.
