Srinagar, June 3

The police on Thursday said the protected persons in Kashmir should not move around without the personal security guards allotted to them. “No protectee should go anywhere without PSOs. Visits are allowed only after ground assessment of threat is done,” IGP Vijay Kumar said in a tweet.

The advisory came after BJP councillor Rakesh Pandita was killed by militants in Tral on Wednesday night. Pandita’s mortal remains reached his Jammu residence. Top BJP leaders and others thronged his home despite Covid restrictions. — 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).
