  • Tiranga procession fosters Patriotic Zeal, attracts people across social spectrum

The rally was flagged off by Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Sharma amid the enthusiastic participation from officers and officials of the civil and police administrations, CRPF, Assam Rifles, students of Government Degree College and locals.

The rally commenced from Welcome Gate-Malipath and after Passing through Main Market and Kuleed Chowk, it culminated at the New DC Office Complex. Addressing the participants, the Deputy Commissioner appreciated the efforts of all departments and stakeholders involved in making the rally a grand success.

The entire route reverberated with patriotic slogans and the sight of countless Tricolours, creating an electrifying atmosphere across the town. The rally served as a powerful moving message of unity, patriotism and respect for the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution. With the collective spirit of the people of Kishtwar, the event echoed the powerful message, ā€œLet Every Heart Beat for the Tiranga.ā€ Similar bike rallies were taken out at the Sub-Division, Tehsil and Block levels across the district.

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.
