SRINAGAR: In a poignant tribute to the valour and sacrifice of heroes who sacrificed their lives during the Kargil War, Indian Army has embarked a pan India D-5 Motorcycle Expedition to commemorate 25th Anniversary of Indian victory over Pakistan in the Kargil war of 1999. The expedition reached BB Cantonment, Srinagar on 06 Jul 2024 and was today flagged off for onward journey.

The pan India expedition has covered 10,000 km on five different routes commencing from Dhanushkodi, Dwarka, Dinjan, Delhi and converging at Drass. The rally aims to pay homage to Indian army braves, who brought victory during the Kargil war 25 years ago. Riding with a sense of purpose, the motorcycle rally will move through challenging terrain, echoing the sprit and determination displayed by Indian army in the battlefield.

The expedition is organised by the Artillery Directorate. Regiment of Artillery played a pivotal role during the Kargil war by providing accurate and effective fire power. The expedition comprising of five officers, four JCOs & seventeen soldiers including women riders from Corps of Military Police were flagged off from National War Memorial, New Delhi on 26th Jun for the final phase of the expedition moving on Northern route A – via Delhi- Srinagar and culminating at Kargil War Memorial, Drass. D-5 motorcycle expedition reached Srinagar on 06th July and was flagged off from Srinagar by Maj Gen PBS Lamba, GOC 31 Sub Area on 8th July 2024, after paying tributes to fallen Braveheart’s at Chinar war memorial.

Before reaching Srinagar D-5 expedition had an interaction with the young students of Army Goodwill school, Wazur on 6th July 2024, with the aim to bring awareness to the young minds about the supreme sacrifice made by bravehearts of Indian Army during the Kargil war.

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.
