The Army on Sunday paid homage to assault dog Axel, who was killed in an encounter on Sunday in Baramulla’s Wanigambala area; a terrorist too was eliminated in the gunfight

“In a military ceremony, homage was paid to Axel, who died after being hit by bullets fired by the terrorist,” a spokesperson said

The ceremony was held at Headquarters 10 Sector Rashtriya Rifles Hyderbeigh, Pattan, and was attended by Maj Gen SS Slaria, GOC, Kilo Force, officers and representatives of the J&K Police

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).
