One terrorist was killed Friday in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, Army officials said.

They said the encounter broke out during an intelligence-based search-and-destroy operation launched jointly by the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the Chhatru forest area in Kishtwar district.

During the operation, the forces managed to establish contact with the terrorists. “The terrorists were effectively engaged and firefight ensued. One terrorist has thus far been neutralised,” the Army’s White Knight Corps, or 16 Corps, said in a post on X.

“Despite a hostile terrain and adverse weather, relentless operations by our brave soldiers continues,” he said. 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).
