An intruder from Pakistan was shot dead along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch on Saturday, officials said.

He was challenged by the troops guarding the Balakote sector in Mendhar sub-division when he was trying to infiltrate. Officers said the intruder paid no heed to the repeated warnings and tried to flee back when security personnel opened fire.

The whole area has been cordoned off and further details are awaited, officials added.

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).
