An armed terrorist who was trying to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir from across the Line of Control (LoC) has been shot dead by security forces in Poonch on Monday.

Army troops detected the infiltration bid. On being challenged by the Army troops, a gunfight ensued with the terrorist.

The terrorist was killed, and his body along with an AK-47 rifle was recovered, a spokesperson of the Army said.

The operation is still in progress.

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).
