Srinagar, April 24

Apni Party candidate for Rajouri-Anantnag Lok Sabha seat, Zaffar Iqbal Manhas, today urged the government to provide adequate compensation to the family of civilian killed by terrorists in Thanamandi, Rajouri, on Monday.

Manhas said Abdul Razaq, the brother of a soldier serving in the Territorial Army, became a victim of a brutal attack while he was coming out of a mosque in his village, Kunda Top. Razaq’s father, Mohammad Akbar, was also killed by terrorists 20 years ago. Manhas said: “I strongly condemn the killing of an innocent person by terrorists in Thanamandi. I urge security agencies to apprehend the killers so they can be brought to justice. The administration must provide adequate compensation to the victim’s family.”

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).
