Srinagar, May 13

An infiltration bid by terrorists across the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir was foiled by the Army during early hours of Saturday.

A group of armed terrorists, while attempting to cross the LoC, were engaged in an exchange of fire with the alert troops resulting in a failed attempt to intrude into Kashmir Valley, a Srinagar-based defence spokesperson said.

A quadcopter flown by the Pakistan Army to aid the terrorists was also spotted across the LoC, and was fired at, causing it to withdraw, the spokesperson said.

“This desperate action by the terrorists, duly abetted by Pakistan Army, is yet another failed attempt to disrupt the G20 Summit and create disturbance in the Valley,” the spokesperson said.

Extensive search operations are under way in the densely forested area, he 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).
