Two terrorists were killed by security forces in an encounter in J-K's Udhampur on Wednesday, the Army said.

The encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists in the upper reaches of Basantgarh, officials said.

The gunfight took place when troops of the first para of the Army along with police moved to Khandara top following information about the presence of a group of terrorists, they said.

The hiding terrorists opened fire on the search parties around 12.50 pm, prompting retaliation by the security forces.

Reinforcements have been rushed to the forest area, the officials said.

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).
