SAMBA: Apni Party Provincial President, Jammu, and Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh today has expressed displeasure over the deteriorated condition of road infrastructure, and basic amenities in Bari Brahmana Tehsil of Samba District. As per a press release, a tour was conducted by S. Manjit Singh along with the Scheduled Tribe President of the Party, Saleem Alam of various areas in Bari Brahmana.

During their tour, they met the different segments of society in which they saw the deteriorated condition of roads, lanes, drains, unprecedented power cuts, and irregular drinking water supply. In his address, S. Manjit Singh condemned the authorities for their inability to ensure the basic amenities to the residents of Bari Brahmana and alleged that the people are being deprived of their basic rights even after imposing high taxes/excessive electricity bills.

ā€œThe people are paying the charges for every service being offered by the departments in J&K Govt. However, they are not being provided the basic amenities, adequate electricity supply, not even the clean drinking water,ā€ he added, condemning the administration for its failure to address the issues of the people for the last several years.

The people have been left without public representatives as the term of elected institutions has expired, and the assembly elections were not conducted in Jammu and Kashmir since the imposition of Lt Governor’s rule, he added, reminding the slogans of development and employment to the political party which has exploited the people emotionally in Jammu for its political gains.

ā€œThe people are ready to teach them a lesson in the proposed assembly elections. In all these years, the people were pushed to the wall as the administration worked as per their own wishes without the consultation of the public representatives,ā€ he added. He stated that the condition of roads, lanes, and drains showcase the non-serious approach of the authorities towards the poor attention of the people towards the public welfare and development at the ground level.

He cautioned the Govt that if they continue to support the anti-people agenda and promote the outsiders in Jammu and Kashmir by exploiting the local resources, the people will come on the roads against the authorities. ā€œThe people in Jammu are peace loving. But, they are not going to compromise on their pride of Dogra State, and the authoritarian attitude of the authorities that needs to be corrected in the interest of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,ā€ he added. Meanwhile, Saleem Alam also addressed the meetings in Bari Brahmana, and listed the problems faced by the people.

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.
