Militants fatally shot a civilian in Srinagar on Wednesday evening, police said.

A press note said the incident occurred at 8:15 pm at Main Chowk, Habba Kadal. The victim has been identified as Umer Nazir Bhat, owner of the shop.

He was taken to a nearby hospital soon after he was shot but died of his injuries.

Area has been cordoned off and search is going on, the press note said.

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).
