  • Lieutenant Governor pays heartfelt tribute to freedom fighters and martyrs; salutes Armed Forces and security forces; urges people to safeguard peace, uphold national unity and contribute to the journey of a developed India

My dear brothers and sisters of Jammu Kashmir,

On the auspicious occasion of our 80th Independence Day, I convey warm greetings and good wishes to all. Today we bow our heads in homage to the memory of all the leaders, fighters, and martyrs of our Freedom Struggle.

On this occasion, I want to express my deepest gratitude to our Armed Forces, Paramilitary Forces, State Police, and all other agencies working tirelessly to protect the nation's sovereignty and integrity. We honor the supreme sacrifice of the brave hearts who laid down their lives in the line of duty. Warmest felicitations to the hardworking farmers, diligent workers, business community, scientists, teachers, innovators, craftsmen, civil society groups, Nari Shakti and Yuva Shakti of Jammu Kashmir. You have all played a vital role in raising the stature of our Union Territory and we couldn't be prouder of your contributions. Let us cherish the diversity behind our strength, while fiercely protecting our national unity and integrity at any cost. This is the core message of Independence Day.

Jammu Kashmir has firmly set out on a path of rapid socio-economic growth, witnessing remarkable progress over the past few years. The Union Territory has received a powerful developmental boost, with numerous mega projects nearing completion. Work on key infrastructure initiatives is also advancing at a swift pace, ensuring that the benefits of development reach every corner of the region. I am confident that we will scale new heights of prosperity in the near future.

On this joyous occasion, let us renew our commitment to moving forward together and building a strong, self-reliant, and developed Jammu Kashmir. I urge all citizens of the Union Territory to join hands in safeguarding peace and prosperity. The day is fast approaching when our beloved Jammu Kashmir will emerge as one of the leading developed regions in the country, significantly contributing to the vision of a developed India.

Once again, I wish you all a very Happy Independence Day.

Jai Hind!

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.
