Jammu, July 4

Security agencies on Saturday busted a terror hideout in the Thanamandi area of Rajouri district and recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition.

The police officials said the recovery was made during the cordon and search operation launched jointly by the Army and police in the Dodassan area of Thanamandi following a specific input.

“An Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), 11 UBGL grenades, 14 magazines of AK rifle, two Chinese pistols (with two magazines), a Chinese grenade, detonators with IED-making material, a pressure mine, P6 Pika rounds and 920 AK rounds were recovered from a war-like store in Dodasan Pain area of Thanamandi,” said a senior police official.

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).
