The police on Sunday recovered the body of another youth who had gone missing along with two others in Kulgam district last month.

Officials said the body of Showkat Ahmad was recovered from Veshow Nallah in Mah area of Kulgam district—the same area from where the body of another missing youth was recovered on Thursday. Officials said preliminary investigations point to death by drowning as the likely reason. No injury marks were found on the body.

On February 13, three Gujjar youth had gone missing after they left Ashmuji, Kulgam to attend a function. They were identified as Riyaz Ahmad, Showkat and Mukhtar Ahmad Awan, all of Kulgam.

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).
