  • District resonates with Spirit of Unity and Patriotism

BANDIPORA: As part of the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign-2026 and the commemoration of 150 years of Vande Mataram, the District Administration Bandipora today organised a vibrant Tiranga Rally, which resonated across the district with the spirit of unity, patriotism and national pride.

The rally was jointly flagged off by  MLA Bandipora, Nizamuddin Bhat, Deputy Commissioner Bandipora, Indu Kanwal Chib, and Senior Superintendent of Police Bandipora, Ajaz Ahmad Zargar. The rally commenced from the DC Office, Bandipora and culminated at SK Stadium, Bandipora.

The rally witnessed participation in large numbers, with students, youth, Anganwadi Workers, ASHA workers, officers and officials, and people from different sections of society joining the event with the National Flag. The streets came alive with the colours of the Tricolour as participants carried flags and banners, reflecting a strong sense of unity and national pride.

Selfie with Tiranga points were also set up at the DC Office premises and SK Stadium, where participants enthusiastically captured moments with the National Flag. The activity added to the festive and patriotic atmosphere and encouraged greater public participation in the campaign.

Addressing the gathering, Deputy Commissioner Indu Kanwal Chib congratulated the participants and thanked all stakeholders for their active contribution towards making the rally successful. She appreciated the enthusiasm shown by students and said that many students interacted with her and highlighted the significance of the Tricolour. She said that the rally was organised in honour of the National Flag and reflected the collective respect and pride associated with it.

The Deputy Commissioner reiterated her message of ā€œOne Act in the Name of Nationā€, calling upon people to choose one work and dedicate it to the nation, with the same care and commitment with which one works for their own home.

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.
