Jammu, March 17

An Indian national, who had gone missing about 15 months ago, was handed by Pakistan army over to its counterparts across the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district on Thursday, officials said.

Mohammad Javed (37), a resident of forward Qasba village of Poonch, had gone missing in December 2020 and could not be traced. Pakistan army recently informed Indian forces about Javed, who is not mentally sound, indicating that he might have crossed the LoC into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) inadvertently.

Javed was handed over to India at Chaka Da Bagh crossing point on the LoC in Poonch. —

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).
