Security forces in North Kashmir’s Bandipora successfully defused a suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on Wednesday morning, marking the fourth such recovery in the valley since Sunday.

According to officials, the IED was detected on the Bandipora-Srinagar highway during a routine road-opening operation. The discovery led to an immediate response, with a bomb disposal squad being called to the site. As a precautionary measure, traffic on the highway was halted until the device was safely neutralised. After the successful disposal, movement on the road was restored.

This latest incident adds to a series of IED recoveries in Kashmir over the past few days. On Sunday, the Army thwarted a potential terror attack after discovering an explosive device in the forested areas of Kupwara near the Line of Control (LoC).

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).
