Srinagar, June 6

Security forces foiled a bid to smuggle weapons into Kashmir by arresting two militant associates in Kulgam. Their arrest led to the seizure of a huge cache of arms and ammunition, the police said.

The arrests were made at the Lower Munda crossing in Qazigund – the gateway to the Valley – in the south Kashmir district. The accused’s vehicle was intercepted for checking which led to the discovery of two AK 56 rifles, 10 pistols, a few grenades and some ammunition. A case has been registered against Zahid and Mehraj-ud-din of Pulwama and a probe is on, an official said. — PTI

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).
