MIDC 627 km Range* | QWD & RWD Options | Loaded with Advanced Technology

JAMMU: Celebrating 25 years of trusted partnership with Tata Motors, Fairdeal Group, J&K’s largest Tata car dealer, proudly unveiled the all-new Harrier.ev—a bold new electric SUV built for the future. The launch marks a significant milestone in Fairdeal’s legacy, combining its decades of customer trust with Tata’s latest innovation in sustainable mobility. The event witnessed the presence of Fairdeal’s Managing Director Sh. Saleem Bakshi, Mr. Farhan Bakshi, Executive Director Sh. Bhagwan Dass Gandotra, Rohit Gandotra, Mohit Gandotra, Ritvik Gandotra, and ASM Mr. Mohd. Danish Afzal from Tata Motors.

The Harrier.ev represents Tata’s most advanced electric offering yet—built on the all-new acti.ev platform and designed to deliver performance, safety, and sophistication in equal measure. With a MIDC-certified range of up to 627 km and available in QWD dual-motor setups and RWD configurations, the SUV offers a seamless and powerful driving experience with instant torque of 504 Nm, fast charging capabilities, and 6 intelligent drive modes. Designed for both city and mountain terrains, it promises to meet the expectations of modern Indian drivers.

What sets the Harrier.ev apart is its bold styling, tech-forward features, and segment-first innovations. From connected LED lighting and a panoramic sunroof to a 14.5-inch infotainment system, ADAS L-2 safety suite, and Dolby Atmos sound, every detail is crafted to offer a premium experience. Tata’s lifetime battery warranty* and 5-star Bharat-NCAP rating further reinforce the SUV’s position as the most reliable and future-ready electric car in its segment.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Chander Singh Katoch, General Manager at Fairdeal Motors, said, “This isn’t just the launch of a new car—it’s a celebration of how far we’ve come. Completing 25 years with Tata Motors and launching the Harrier. ev together is a proud and emotional moment for the entire Fairdeal family. We invite all Jammu localities to come visit their nearest Fairdeal Motors setup and drive the future of SUVs at any of our showrooms.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

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.
