The Border Security Force (BSF) on Monday destroyed a rusted anti-tank mine found on the banks of a river in Samba district, officials said.

The mine was detected by a BSF patrolling party on the banks of the Basantar river between Ballhar and Kamour border outposts around 11 am, they said.

The area was cordoned off and experts from the bomb disposal squad destroyed the mine in a controlled explosion without causing any damage, according to the officials.

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).
