Srinagar, September 26

Security forces today arrested a militant associate along with arms in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, the police said.

Akeel Ahmad Parray of Mandigam Kralgund was arrested on a tip-off.

“The Handwara police, along with the security forces, launched a cordon and search operation in orchards of Mandigam Kralgund village. During the operation, a person was found in a suspicious condition who tried to escape from the spot, but was chased and apprehended by the search party,” a cop said.

During search, arms and ammunition were recovered from his possession. On interrogating the man, it was found that he was working with the Lashkar-e-Toiba as an associate.

The police registered a case.

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).
