Jammu, January 9

Security forces combed the dense forest belt along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district for the ninth consecutive day on Thursday in search of infiltrators who sneaked into the Indian territory from PoK, officials said.

The search operation was launched last week after two soldiers were killed in a gunbattle with heavily-armed Pakistani infiltrators in the Khari Thrayat forest.

The forces combed the Khari area in Naushera sector on Thursday, the officials said. Troops located a natural cave and

fired a few UBGL grenades in it, they said.

The search operations have been conducted in Khodi, Darath, Moghaldaye and Potha areas of the district, the officials added. — 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).
