Amritsar, December 26

Yet another drone was shot down by the alert BSF troops in Rajatal border village on Sunday.

Around 7.40 pm, the BSF jawans heard the sound of a drone entering into Indian air space near Rajatal village on the India-Pakistan border. Following this, the troops fired at the drone. The entire area was cordoned off by the BSF and in the morning, a search operation was launched along with the police, said BSF spokesman in a statement. Later, a quadcopter drone found in the agricultural fields near the border fence. The search was continued in the area to find if any other consignment was dropped by it. This was the sixth drone shot down by the BSF in past one month.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
