Jammu, August 22

Panic gripped Nagrota in Jammu after the police found an improvised explosive device (IED) that was planted on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway late on Monday evening. Nagrota is also the headquarters of Army’s 16 Corps. Sources in the police said the IED had been planted possibly by some overground worker to target Army vehicles which frequent the highway. Kashmir-bound Amarnath pilgrims also use the same road although their number has trickled for the past sometime.

In an official statement, SSP Chandan Kohli said a suspicious object was spotted in Panjgrain area of Nagrota after which a bomb disposal squad, along with a dog squad, was called.

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).
