The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Monday said it has achieved a major breakthrough in a sensitive security case involving the violation of No-Flying Zone restrictions during this year’s Amarnath Yatra.

According to a statement issued by Ganderbal Police, a drone that was illegally flown over the notified restricted area was brought down by security forces using soft-kill measures, preventing any potential threat to the annual pilgrimage.

As per Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) guidelines, the entire Yatra corridor had been declared a strict No-Flying Zone to ensure foolproof security and the peaceful conduct of the Yatra.

A case was registered at the Gund Police Station.

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).
