Mendhar/Jammu, February 23

An Army patrol destroyed a rusted landmine in a controlled explosion near the LoC in Poonch district, officials said on Friday. The landmine was found adjacent to the border fence in the Balnoi area of the Mankote sector on Thursday. The officials said experts were summoned and the landmine was destroyed.

As part of the anti-infiltration system, forward areas are dotted with landmines, which sometimes get washed away by rain and also result in accidental blasts.

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).
