Srinagar, April 7

An encounter has started between terrorists and security forces at Haripora area in South Kashmir’s Shopian district, police officials said on Thursday.

“Encounter has started at Haripora area of Shopian. Police and security forces are on the job,” police said.

The firefight between terrorists and security forces took place after a joint team of the police and security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists.

As the security forces zeroed in on the site where terrorists were hiding they came under a heavy volume of fire that triggered the encounter. IANS

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).
