The deceased have been identified as Liyakat Ahmad Deedard and Ishfaq Ahmad Khatana, both residents of Chandoosa in Baramulla district.

Soon after the incident, the Army launched a massive rescue operation in the area. However, the bodies were later recovered from the Poonch sector of the Jammu region, located on the other side of the Gulmarg sector.

Poonch falls under the operational control of the Nagrota-based White Knight (16) Corps of the Army. Sources said the bodies were recovered during search operations in the area.

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).
