Srinagar, December 30

Three unidentified militants were killed in an overnight encounter with security forces in the Parimpora area of the city, the police said on Wednesday.

The militants had opened fire on security forces during a cordon and search operation in the area on Tuesday evening, a police official said.

He said the cordon was strengthened and the two sides exchanged fire intermittently throughout the night.

While one militant was killed early morning, two others were shot dead a few hours later, the official said. He said the details of the operation would be shared later in the day. — 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).
