Jammu, September 18

A search operation was carried out by Special Operations Group (SOG) and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) after reports of the sighting of a drone were received in areas along the International Border (IB) with Pakistan in Samba district.

The SOG had received information regarding a drone in Indian territory on Saturday evening after which teams of police were sent to search the area.

“We received information at around 7.30 pm from Chachwal and Mango Chak villages that an object was flying in the area. Teams were sent for a search operation but they did not find anything. Due to darkness, the operation was called off but was resumed early in the morning today,” said DSP (Operations) Garu Ram.

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).
