Security forces on Wednesday busted a cave-like Hizbul Mujahideen hideout in the forests of Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir, police said.

“Based on a credible input, police along with the Army and the CRPF busted a terrorist hideout in the forests of Seer-Pastoona in Awantipora area of Pulwama district,” a police spokesman said.

During searches in the area by the joint team, a Hizbul Mujahideen hideout was busted and subsequently destroyed, the spokesman said.

“Incriminating materials of the proscribed terrorist outfit Hizbul Mujahideen and other material like utensils have also been recovered from the hideout,” he said, adding these items have been seized for the purpose of investigation. — 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).
