India and Pakistan have agreed to continue with “confidence-building measures” that include reducing the alertness level of the two militaries which in turn is expected to further “cool down” existing tensions.

The Indian Army said on Thursday as per the understanding arrived between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) on both sides on May 10, “it has been decided to continue the confidence-building measures so as to reduce the alertness level”.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday told his parliament that the country’s military had agreed to extend a ceasefire with India until Sunday.

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).
