Srinagar, July 18

Three militants were killed in a gunfight at Amshipora in Shopian district on Saturday, officials said.

The gunfight ensued when security forces were cordoning off an orchard following an input about the militants’ presence.

“The security forces were fired upon from the cowshed of the lone house in the orchard. In the firefight, three militants were killed and the operation is in progress,” the Army said in Srinagar.

This is the second gunfight in south Kashmir since Friday. Three militants were killed in a gunfight in Kulgam on Friday.

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).
