Two Pak terrorists and a CISF officer were killed in the pre-dawn encounter.

Security agencies said that the forces are already on high alert in the region in view of the PM’s visit. A high-level meeting of police and intelligence agencies will take place later in the day to review security arrangements ahead of the visit.

An alert has been sounded across the region even as the Army also started combing operation in and around Sunjuwan military camp. Sniffer dogs and drones are being used for the operation.

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).
