Amritsar, December 22

Even as dense fog engulfed the district, alert BSF jawans shot down a drone in Kalash border village in Tarn Taran here this morning.

According to the BSF, troops heard the buzzing sound of unmanned aerial vehicle entering Indian airspace following which they fired at the direction of the sound. The incident occurred around 7.45pm. The entire area was cordoned off and this morning, a search operation was carried out leading to the seizure of a quadcopter DJI Matrice 300 RTK in agriculture fields behind the border fence near Kalash village.

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).
