A policeman was killed and two officers were injured on Saturday in a fierce gunfight with terrorists in a remote village in the Kathua district of poll-bound J&K, officials said. The encounter at Kog-Mandli in Billawar tehsil occurred amid heightened security arrangements in the district, which goes to the polls in the third and final phase on October 1. “Head Constable Bashir Ahmed has sacrificed his life and an ASI sustained injuries,” a police spokesperson said. A DSP was also injured in the encounter, said officials.

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).
