BISHNAH/POONCH: In the ongoing series of Tiranga Yatras, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today organized impressive Tiranga Yatras in Bishnah and Poonch, drawing massive crowds and evoking a wave of national pride across the region.

The Tiranga Yatra in Bishnah commenced from the historic Rambagh Mandir and culminated at Tara Chowk. The rally was led by BJP General Secretary (Organization) J&K, Ashok Koul, accompanied by Rajeev Bhagat, MLA Bishnah, Ashwani Sharma, Ex-MLA, Rinku Choudhary, District President, Darminder Kumar, SC Morcha President, Rakesh Pant, Kissan Morcha President, along with members of the Jammu Border District team, Bishnah Mandal team, Ex-Sarpanches & Panches, Arnia Mandal team, and enthusiastic residents from all walks of life.

Speaking on the occasion, Ashok Koul said, “The Tiranga is not merely a flag; it is the living embodiment of India’s pride, sacrifices, and unity. The overwhelming participation in these yatras proves that the spirit of nationalism runs deep in every heart of Jammu & Kashmir. We are committed to taking this message of unity to every village and every street.”

Dr. Rajeev Bhagat also stressed on the need of expressing the act of patriotism through our deeds. He said that these acts not only represent our patriotism but reflect our strong commitment towards our nation.

Meanwhile, Poonch witnessed a historic and enormous Tiranga Yatra, hailed as one of the largest patriotic gatherings in the district’s recent history. The rally began at the iconic Sher-e-Kashmir Bridge and concluded at Chhaka da Bhag, with thousands of BJP workers, civil society members, and youth participating with unmatched enthusiasm.

Prominent leaders present in Poonch included District President Gurdeep Singh Khalsa, Ch Ab Gani, Rajesh Raina, Sunil Sharma, Sahil Mir, Bhupinder Singh, Jyoti Bhalla, Renu Kumari, and Parvaz Chouhan. The sea of tricolours carried by participants created an electrifying atmosphere, resonating with patriotic chants and the resolve to work for a stronger and united India.

The BJP leadership emphasized that such yatras are not mere symbolic gestures but powerful movements to awaken and strengthen the spirit of patriotism. Both events stood as testimony to the people’s unwavering love for the nation and their commitment to the ideals enshrined in the Tiranga.

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.
