New Delhi, March 21

The Border Security Force (BSF) today said its troops have arrested a Pakistani intruder along the International Border (IB) in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Officials in the BSF here said the intruder was arrested shortly after he sneaked into the Indian side on Saturday night.

“During night hours, the alert BSF troops observed suspicious movement of one Pakistani national who crossed the border, but was nabbed ahead of the fencing by them,” a senior BSF official said.

Earlier, a Pakistani intruder was shot dead by the BSF personnel on March 16 in the Ramgarh sector of Samba when he ignored repeated warnings while trying to sneak into the Indian side. — TNS

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).
