A police spokesperson said during investigation of a case registered under relevant sections at Qazigund police station, two OGWs, namely Altaf Ahmad Lone, a resident of Kachoora Zadoora, and Manzoor Ahmad Bhat, a resident of Nipora, Mirbazar, were apprehended at Ghulab Bagh Qazigund.

“During questioning the accused disclosed possession of arms and ammunition,” the police said. On their disclosure 2 AK 56 rifles, 4 AK series magazines and 79 live cartridges of AK series were recovered.

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).
