Army Chief General Manoj Pande said Pakistan had been using drones to drop drugs, arms and ammunition on the Indian territory. Expressing concern, he said the matter was being looked into.

Talking to mediapersons about infiltration in J&K yesterday, the Army Chief said infiltration attempts had reduced since 2019. In past couple of months, the security agencies have witnessed a rise in cross-border efforts of dropping weapons and narcotics into Punjab and J&K along the border through drones.

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).
