Two civilians were injured during an encounter between security forces and militants in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, the police said. During the initial cordon-and-search operation, unidentified terrorists fired upon civilians and tried to escape in which two civilians got injured, the police tweeted.

Both the injured were taken to a hospital. One of them is critical.

The search operation turned into an encounter after the militants opened firing on the security forces, who retaliated.

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).
