SRINAGAR: Kashmir Champions Football League (KCFL), being organised by the Jammu & Kashmir Sports Council, continues to generate tremendous enthusiasm among football lovers while steadily emerging as a major sporting attraction for visitors and sports personalities from across the country.

 The fixtures scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, were postponed and will now be played on Thursday, June 25, at TRC Synthetic Ground in Srinagar. The revised schedule includes Match No. 15 between Baramulla Strikers and Shopian Legends, followed by Match No. 16 featuring Srinagar United against Budgam Royals. 

 Since its inception, the KCFL has witnessed an encouraging response from local football enthusiasts, with spectators turning up in significant numbers to cheer their favourite teams. The league has also attracted visitors from outside Jammu & Kashmir, many of whom have taken time out of their travel itineraries to experience the electrifying atmosphere and competitive football on display. 

The growing stature of the tournament was further reflected by the presence of renowned sports personalities among the spectators. The notable visitors was Dr Amit Samarth, Director of Tigerman Sports and Race Director of Race Across India. Also present was Anshu Sharma, founder of Highland Sports India, a platform dedicated to documenting athlete stories, inspiring sporting journeys and endurance sports across the country. Their presence reflects the growing recognition that the Kashmir Champions Football League is receiving beyond the Union Territory and highlights the role of sport in showcasing Kashmir's sporting potential to a wider audience.

  The Jammu & Kashmir Sports Council remains committed to promoting football and creating competitive opportunities for young athletes through structured tournaments such as the KCFL. The league continues to provide a vibrant platform for local talent, community engagement and strengthening the football culture across the region.

 With several exciting fixtures still to come, the KCFL is expected to continue attracting passionate crowds and sports enthusiasts as teams battle for supremacy in one of Kashmir's most eagerly followed football competitions.

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.
