Srinagar, November 22

A militant was arrested from a madrasa in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, the Army said on Sunday.

Security forces launched a search operation in the Chatpura Mohalla area of the south Kashmir district late on Saturday based on intelligence inputs about the presence of a person from the Handwara area of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district who was actively involved with militants, an Army official said here.

During the operation, the person was apprehended, he added, without identifying him.

The official said the person was interrogated on the spot, during which he revealed the presence of a militant in a nearby madrasa.

The forces cordoned off the area and the “militant (name withheld) was apprehended,” he said without divulging further details. — PTI

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).
