SHOPIAN: In a spirited display of patriotism, the District Administration Shopian in collaboration with District Police Shopian today organised a Tiranga Bike Rally, witnessing huge participation from locals, students, NCC cadets, volunteers, officials, and members of civil society. The rally commenced from DPL Shopian, passed through the main market areas, and returned to DPL, drawing the attention and admiration of onlookers along the route.

Tricolours fluttered proudly as participants rode together, spreading the message of unity, peace, and national pride. Organised under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign (2nd to 15th August), the event encouraged citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes and strengthen their bond with the nation.

The rally conveyed a strong message that the Tiranga is a living emblem of our sacrifices, our freedom, and our shared responsibility to uphold the ideals of unity, harmony, and integrity. The District Administration appreciated the enthusiastic participation of the public and urged everyone to actively join the ongoing Independence Day celebrations by embracing the spirit of Tiranga in every household.

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.
