Srinagar, January 29

Two gun battles between security forces and militants erupted in Kashmir on Saturday evening.

An encounter broke out around 7 pm after a joint team of Army and police launched a search operation to trace militants at Naira village in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

“On a specific tip-off about the presence of militants at Naira village, security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation,” a security official told The Tribune.

Another gunfight erupted in the Chrar-i-Sharief area of Budgam. The encounter began around 10:30 pm after a joint team of the Army and police launched a search operation to trace militants. — OC

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).
