DIO Rajinder Digra’s fiery 53 anchors successful run chase

KATHUA: A competitive cricket match between Kathua DC XI and GDC Kathua XI was played this evening on the College campus ground, setting the stage for spirited performances and steady contributions from both teams. GDC Kathua XI won the toss and elected to bat first, posting a total of 116 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in a 15 over match. Their innings was led by Prof Tariq who scored 39 runs, followed by Prof Sandeep Sharma with 25 runs, Prof Daya Ram with 21 runs and Prof Umar who contributed 11 runs.

Deputy Commissioner Kathua, Rajesh Sharma delivered an effective spell by claiming two important opening wickets and restricting the opposition early on. Chasing 117, Kathua DC XI lost a wicket on the very first ball of the innings. Coming in one down, Rajinder Digra (DIO Kathua) played responsibly, taking control of the situation and stabilising the innings. His well-crafted 53 runs in 22 balls, including four sixes and six fours, provided the much-needed momentum. He was supported by DPO Kathua, Aamir Chaudhary who added 17 runs to keep the chase on track.

In the middle overs, ACR Kathua Vishav Partap Singh scored another crucial 17 runs, striking two boundaries and a six at the right moment to maintain the flow of runs. Prof Arvind picked three wickets for GDC Kathua, while the bowling attack of Kathua DC XI maintained consistent pressure. The match headed towards a nail-biting finish, with Kathua DC XI needing to keep their composure in the final over. With three balls to spare, ADC Kathua, Vishavjeet Singh and CEO Municipal Council Kathua, Amit Sharma held their nerve and steered the team to a well-deserved victory. The encounter concluded with appreciation for the efforts shown by both sides and a shared commitment to promoting sports and fitness activities across the district.

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.
