The shots were fired in a forward village in snow-bound Mendhar in the early hours of Saturday and a massive search operation was underway when last reports were received.

A massive search operation has been launched to sanitise the area, they said, adding further details are awaited.

Lt Gen Navin Sachdeva, General Officer Commanding of the White Knight Corps, on Friday visited forward locations in the Poonch sector and reviewed the operational preparedness of the formation.

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).
