Srinagar, August 21

Three Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militants were killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Saturday, officials said.

Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the upper reaches of the forest area of Nagbaeran Tral in the south Kashmir district following inputs about the presence of militants there, the officials said.

They said the search operation turned into an encounter after the militants fired at the search party of the security forces, who retaliated.

“In the ensuing gunfight, three terrorists affiliated with JeM outfit were killed,” the officials said.

The search operation is going on, they said.

This is the second encounter in the district in as many days. 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).
