Srinagar, February 18

Three overground workers (OGWs) of the Hizbul Mujahideen were arrested from Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said on Saturday.

Those arrested have been identified as Mohammad Abass Wagay, Gowhar Shafi Mir and Nisar Rehman Sheikh, they said.

The police established a checkpoint at the Daderkoot-Alamganj crossing here on Friday evening after receiving information about the movement of anti-national elements carrying arms and ammunition with them, a police spokesperson said.

Three persons who were travelling on a motorcycle were intercepted, he said.

“During a search, the police recovered a pistol, two magazines and 13 live rounds from the possession of the suspects,” the spokesperson said, adding that they were arrested.

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).
