Narayanpur (Chhattisgarh), July 2

Five Naxalites were killed in an encounter with security personnel in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district on Tuesday, the police said.

The gunfight took place in a forest under the Kohkameta police station area in Abujhmad while a joint team of personnel from different security forces was out on an anti-Naxal operation, a senior police official said.

“Five Naxalites have been killed in the action so far. The search operation is still underway in the area and further details are awaited,” he said, adding that security personnel were reported to be safe.

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).
