JAMMU: J&K BJP Media Incharge Dr. Pardeep Mahotra and former JMC Councillor Pawan Singh released the Dogri musical album “Mann Di Akhiyan”, sung by popular Dogri folk singer Rinku Mansar Wala, during a function held at Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

Penned by Shivani Taak and composed by Kumar Gourav, Mann Di Akhiyan carries a deeply emotional message about betrayal and the pain of broken trust, portraying how a person's heart sees the true face of the world even when appearances deceive. The music video features Mohit Pandav and Sonam Sountra in lead roles and has been directed by Shalliza Singh. The album has been produced by Rocky Rao, while Kaliveer Ji Production handled the videography and Anshu Kalsotra carried out the editing. The project has been undertaken by Dogri Geet Production, with Sushant, Ankaj, Akshay, and Shivani contributing as key artists.

Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, while releasing the song, congratulated the entire team and said that Dogri music and art are invaluable treasures of Jammu's cultural identity. He said such creative efforts not only entertain audiences but also preserve the language, emotions, and traditions of the region for future generations. He appreciated the young artists for choosing meaningful themes and urged society to support local talent so that Dogri culture continues to flourish across the country.

Pawan Singh said that the music industry in Jammu has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years due to the dedication of local artists. He appreciated the production team for presenting a high-quality musical album and expressed confidence that Mann Di Akhiyan would touch the hearts of listeners. He added that promoting Dogri language and culture is a collective responsibility and every such initiative deserves encouragement.

Singer Rinku Mansar Wala expressed gratitude to everyone associated with the project and said that Mann Di Akhiyan is an emotional journey that reflects the realities of life and human relationships. He hoped the audience would connect with the song's heartfelt message and continue extending love and support to Dogri music. He also thanked the lyricist, music director, producer, director, and the entire technical team for their dedication in making the project a memorable one.

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.
