The Survival Fight of JK Monitor : For 16 years, JK Monitor has chronicled Jammu and Kashmir with integrity. Since 2010, I have steered its newsroom alongside our visionary Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan (IIT Kharagpur alumnus, University of Maryland Ph.D.), who treated me like a brother and mentor. His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum. Without urgent support, our 24/7 news portal risks permanently shutting down after November 2026, remaining only as a static digital archive. We appeal to well-wishers to extend a helping hand to keep our active newsroom alive. Support Us: WhatsApp: +91-9906103001 | Email: journalistajmerwani@gmail.com

ANANTNAG: As part of Phase II of the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, the Department of Youth Services and Sports (DYSS), in collaboration with the District Administration and Police Department Anantnag, organized a colorful and long-distance Tiranga Bike Rally from Khanabal to Ashajipora today.  The vibrant rally created a jubilant atmosphere, allowing participants to celebrate the spirit of Independence Day and the Tricolour in a festive and patriotic manner.

The rally was flagged off from Dak Bungalow Khanabal by DYSSO Raja Yaqoob, in the presence of SHO Saddar Police Station Majid Khan, District Activity Incharge Mohammad Abbas Dar, and other officials of the Youth Services and Sports Department.

Field officials from the DYSS, along with enthusiastic participants, proudly carried the national flag as they rode through various roads and lanes, showcasing a strong display of patriotism. The bikers, adorned with the Tricolour, covered a scenic route that passed through key locations including Khanabal Chowk, Nai Basti, Mehdi Kadal, Lal Chowk, Janglaat Mandi Chowk, and Ashajipora, before culminating at Municipal View Park, Bypass Road, Anantnag.

The event witnessed warm participation from both officials and local residents, underscoring the deep sense of national pride that defines the Independence Day celebrations.

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.
