KUPWARA: The majestic heights of Sadhna Top reverberated with patriotic fervour today as the Tricolour soared high at 10,500 feet during a grand Tiranga Rally organised at the iconic Shaurya Gatha Complex under the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign, commemorating the spirit of national pride and the 150th anniversary of the timeless patriotic legacy of ā€œVande Mataram.ā€

Organised by the Sub Divisional Administration Karnah, the mega event witnessed overwhelming participation from students, civil society members, veterans, ex-servicemen, ex-PRIs, Lambardars and officials, who came together to celebrate the honour, glory and pride associated with the National Flag.

Against the magnificent backdrop of the Himalayan ranges, the Tiranga fluttered majestically, symbolising the nation's unity, sacrifices of countless heroes and the unwavering spirit of patriotism. The participants marched with immense enthusiasm, carrying the message of Har Ghar Tiranga and reaffirming their commitment to uphold the values and dignity represented by the Tricolour.

The culminating ceremony was held at the Army facilities at Shaurya Gatha Complex, Sadhna Top, where the gathering was sensitised about the significance of the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign and the importance of keeping the spirit of patriotism alive in every home, heart and action.

The enthusiastic participation of students and veterans remained the highlight of the occasion, beautifully reflecting the blend of youthful energy and the invaluable experience of those who have served the nation. The presence of civil society members and community representatives further strengthened the message of unity, harmony and collective pride.

The Tiranga Rally at this iconic high-altitude location emerged as a powerful symbol of national unity, conveying that the Tricolour transcends every geographical boundary and continues to unite citizens across diverse landscapes with a shared feeling of pride and belonging.

The Sub Divisional Administration Karnah expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Army Authorities for their valuable support, cooperation and hospitality in making the concluding ceremony at Shaurya Gatha Complex a grand success. The administration also lauded the enthusiastic participation of veterans, civil society members, students, ex-PRIs, Lambardars and all stakeholders whose collective spirit transformed the event into a memorable celebration of patriotism, unity and national pride at one of the most iconic locations of the region.

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.
