NURPUR, SEPTEMBER 1

An old but powerful mortal shell was found at Kandwal on the Pathankot-Mandi national highway in Nurpur last evening. The shell was neutralised by the bomb disposal squad of the 9th core army unit of Uchi-Bassi under Mamoon army cantonment today.

The shell was noticed by employees of the construction company engaged in the Pathankot-Mandi highway widening project at Kandwal. They informed the police and local administration. The mortar shell was shifted in a JCB machine to an isolated place in Baduee gram panchayat by the bomb disposal squad.

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).
