Srinagar, October 16

Security forces on Friday busted an underground militant hideout in the Awantipora area of Pulwama district, the police said.

The underground bunker was constructed by militants near the banks of the Jhelum inside a plant nursery at Kawani in the Awantipora area and had two 8-ft-high rooms and a toilet facility in it, a police official said.

He said the hideout was destroyed after recovery of arms and ammunition along with other incriminating material.

The recoveries include one pistol, 2,091 rounds of AK ammunition and three grenades, the official said, adding that a case was registered. — 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).
