Srinagar, November 11

A Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) militant was killed on Friday in a brief encounter in Shopian district.

The gunfight broke out early on Friday when a joint team of police and Army launched a counter-insurgency operation at Kapren.

“A foreign terrorist of the JeM killed in an encounter at Kapren,” a police official said.

The militant has been identified as Kamran Bhai alias Hanees, who was active in Kulgam-Shopian area.

Additional Director General of Police Vijay Kumar confirmed the killing. He said a search was going on in the area.

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).
