Jammu, February 1

Pakistan army on Monday violated the ceasefire and shelled forward posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, officials said.

The Indian Army retaliated befittingly to the Pakistani aggression, they said.

“At about 1745 hours today, Pakistan army initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and intense shelling with mortars along the LoC in Mankote sector, Poonch,” said a Defence spokesperson.

On Thursday, a 20-year-old man was injured in Pakistani shelling along the LoC in the Shahpur sector of Poonch.

Jammu and Kashmir saw over 5,400 instances of ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC in 2020 – the highest in the past 19 years. A total of 36 people were killed and over 130 injured. 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).
