Body of a 14-year-old girl was found on Sunday in Ganderbal district, officials said. Local residents found the body in the bushes at Batsar-Sehpora in the district, the officials said. They said the locals informed the police, after which senior police officers of the district visited the spot and assured the locals of speedy investigation into the matter.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed grief over the killing of the girl, describing the incident as “inhuman and reprehensible.” Conveying his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, the Chief Minister said such heinous acts shock the collective conscience of society. He stressed that the perpetrators of this crime deserve the severest punishment.

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).
