Rajouri/Jammu, August 1
The security forces have seized a consignment of arms and explosives after busting a cave-type terrorist hideout in a forest area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, officials said on Thursday.

The hideout was unearthed during an ongoing joint cordon and search operation by the police, Rashtriya Rifles, BSF and CRPF personnel at Gulabgarh in the Dharamsal area of Kalakote, they said.

The search operation was launched late Wednesday night following information about suspicious movement.

An AK assault rifle, two magazines, a pistol with two magazines, two hand grenades, three explosive packets and nearly 100 rounds of assorted ammunition besides some eatables, a rucksack and a couple of cigarettes packets were seized from the hideout, the officials said.

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).
