JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma CA released a special edition of the party's magazine Kamal Sandesh, exclusively dedicated to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, at a function held at the party headquarters in Jammu.

The special edition was released in the presence of BJP General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria and Gopal Mahajan, Publication Department Incharge Rajnish Jain and Department for Development of Literature Incharge S. Varinderjeet Singh, BJP ST Morcha President Ch. Abdul Gani.

The special edition contains informative articles, poems, columns and other writings highlighting the importance, objectives, benefits and significance of SIR in strengthening the democratic system.  Senior BJP leaders have contributed their writings and efforts towards preparing this edition to create greater awareness among the people.

Speaking on the occasion, Sat Sharma said that bringing out a special edition of Kamal Sandesh on SIR is indeed a commendable initiative aimed at educating the people about the importance of maintaining accurate, transparent and updated electoral rolls.

He said that every eligible citizen has the right to vote and it is equally important to ensure that electoral rolls are free from errors, duplicate entries and names of deceased or otherwise ineligible persons, following the prescribed procedure.

Sat Sharma said that SIR is an important exercise which can strengthen public confidence in the electoral system and help ensure free and fair elections. He stressed that genuine voters should not face difficulties and that public awareness is essential for the successful implementation of such an exercise.

Appreciating the efforts of the Publication Department, Department for Development of Literature and all contributors, Sat Sharma said that literature and publications play an important role in spreading awareness and presenting important issues in simple and understandable language.

Sat Sharma expressed hope that this special edition would prove to be of great educational and informative value for party workers, voters and the general public. He said that it would help readers understand the purpose of SIR, clear misconceptions and encourage responsible participation in the democratic process.

He also called upon party workers to take the magazine's message to the grassroots level and encourage people to remain informed about their electoral rights and responsibilities.

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.
