Jammu, October 26

After terrorists carried out a number of targeted killings recently, 10 Kashmiri Pandit (KP) families have left their village in Shopian district in South Kashmir.

They have reached Jammu. Residents of Choudharygund said the recent terrorist attacks had triggered a fear psychosis among the Pandits who lived in Kashmir through the most difficult period of terrorism in 1990s and did not leave their houses. Puran Krishan Bhat was gunned down on October 15.

Three days later, Monish Kumar and Ram Sagar were killed in their rented accommodation in Shopian. “Ten families comprising 35 to 40 members have migrated,” a resident of Choudharygund village, who faced death threat recently, said.

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).
