Five unexploded bombs were found at Markanda river, near Panjail village in Ambala district, on Saturday morning.

As per the information, locals spotted the bombs and informed the police authorities.

They alerted Army officials, and the bomb disposal team.

Station House Officer (SHO) Shahabad police station Prateek Kumar, and SHO Saha police station Balkar Singh, reached the spot initially.

The bombs seem to be old and quite rusted. Both the bombs were defused by the bomb disposal team with controlled explosions.

After a while, three more bombs were spotted.

“Two bombs were spotted, and defused by the bomb disposal team. Later, three more bombs were spotted around 200 metres away from the earlier recovered bombs. They will be defused soon,” said SHO Saha Balbir Singh.

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).
