Three mortar shells were found abandoned on the roadside and were later destroyed in a controlled explosion by a team of Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) here on Wednesday, officials said.

The mortar shells were noticed by police in the Transport Nagar locality of Narwal in the outskirts of the city late this afternoon, the officials said.

They said the area was immediately cordoned off and shells containing high explosive were removed from the scene by the BDS which was summoned to the spot.

The BDS later destroyed the mortar shells in a controlled explosion in a nearby forest area without causing any damage, 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).
