‘Unclean tap water needs clinical testing to prevent spread of diseases’

SAMBA: Apni Party Provincial President, Jammu, and Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh today expressed deep concern over the dilapidated condition of road infrastructure at Meen Charkan area of Bari Brahmana.

The Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh visited Meen Charkan area and met the people there to listen to their grievances that remain unheard from the authorities. During his interaction with the people, he was shocked to see the dilapidated condition of road and other infrastructure in Meen Charkan that remained unrepaired for years together.

“The road has been completely washed away by the flash flood because the drains are not maintained or not constructed in many areas. It appears the concerned department has turned blind eyes towards the public issues and give no heed to improve the infrastructural development in the area that is affected adversely,” he said.

He said that the people were deeply concerned with the adamant attitude of the authorities to portray development in newspapers but on ground, the development seems nowhere. “I visited many villages in Bari Brahmana, and Meen Charkan. All these villagers were facing underdevelopment, poorly maintained roads with huge potholes, and stones in the middle of the damaged roads that require urgent attention of the authorities,” he stated.

He further said that the people are tired of the administration that is inefficient, and avoids public interaction on a regular basis. “The working of the administration has collapsed in the district, and there is no accountability to the officials who do not give heed to the public grievances,” he added.

He however demanded the attention of the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to review the developmental works in Samba District and hold the concerned departments accountable for the negligence.

Meanwhile, he also raised the unclean drinking water that is being supplied to the people through the taps. The water needs clinical testing as it has caused health related issues in Bari Brahmana.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
