The Pakistan Army resorted to firing and mortar shelling on forward posts and villages along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district on Monday, a defence spokesperson said.

“Around 12.15 pm, Pakistan initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by small arms firing and shelling with mortars in the Shahpur sector. The Indian Army is retaliating befittingly,” he said.

The spokesperson said the cross-border shelling was going on when last reports were received.

However, there was no report of any casualty in the Pakistani firing and shelling, he said. 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).
