BARAMULLA: The District Administration Baramulla commemorated Armed Forces Flag Day with a meaningful ceremony at the district headquarter, honoring the sacrifices made by the Indian Armed Forces. The event was presided over by Deputy Commissioner (DC) Baramulla, Minga Sherpa, who was joined by senior district officers and other staff members.

The ceremony featured a flag-badging event, during which the Zila Sainik Welfare Officer pinned flags on attendees as a mark of respect and gratitude for the armed forces. The DC led the occasion by making the first donation to the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund, encouraging others to contribute.

In his address, Minga Sherpa underscored the importance of the Armed Forces Flag Day, urging the public to contribute to the welfare fund, which plays a vital role in assisting and rehabilitating veterans and their dependents.

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.

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.
