The police on Friday detained a suspected terror associate under the Public Safety Act (PSA) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur district, officials said. Farooq Ahmed is a resident of Sadrota village in Lohai Malhar tehsil, they said.

Ahmed was allegedly involved in providing logistical support to terror groups and acted as a guide and facilitator for these organisations, they added.

The authorities cited strong evidence and past records to confirm his role in aiding and assisting terror groups.

Considering the threat posed by his activities, Ahmed was detained under the PSA and sent to jail, the officials said. Meanwhile, the police have arrested three persons under the PSA for their alleged involvement in criminal and anti-national activities in Jammu and Kathua districts.

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).
