Srinagar, August 4

A migrant labourer was killed and two others injured in a grenade attack by militants in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Thursday, police said.

“Terrorists hurled grenade on outside labourers at Gadoora area of #Pulwama. In this terror incident, one labourer died and two others were injured. Area cordoned off,” the Kashmir Zone Police tweeted.

The deceased migrant labourer has been identified as Mohd Mumtaz, resident of Sakwa Parsa, Bihar, the police added. The Injured have been identified as Mohd Arif and Mohd Majbool, residents of Rampur, Bihar. Both are stable.

Militants had stepped up attacks on non-local labourers earlier this year but there was a halt in such targeted killings for the past nearly two months.

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).
