Srinagar, July 9

A soldier and a woman were injured when militants fired upon an Army convoy in Awantipora sub-district this evening.

The Army said the militants fired at an ambulance, on its way to Srinagar from Khrew, around 6 pm. It was on casualty evacuation duty near Ladoo Morh Lethapora.

“The ambulance, with a quick reaction team, was targeted by terrorists near a mosque at Laddoo Morh, injuring a soldier. He was evacuated to the Army’s 92 base hospital and was reported to be stable,” an Army statement said.

A woman also sustained injuries in the crossfire. Soon after the incident, the area was cordoned off by joint forces to trace the attackers. — 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).
