Srinagar, March 15

A militant was killed in an encounter with security forces in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, police said.

Acting on a specific input about the presence of militants in Charsoo area of Awantipora, security forces launched a cordon-and-search operation there, a police official said.

He said the search operation turned into an encounter after the hiding militants fired upon the forces who retaliated.

In the ensuing exchange of fire, a militant was killed, the official said.

He said the identity and group affiliation of the slain ultra is being ascertained.

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).
