Srinagar, February 7

A militant was killed in a gunfight that broke out in Pulwama district on Monday.

The gunfight erupted at Nambal village of Awantipora when joint teams of security forces launched a cordon-and-search operation following an input about the militants’ presence.

“A militant has been killed in the ongoing gunfight in Awantipora of Pulwama district,” a police official said. The identity of the deceased is yet to be ascertained.

He said as the joint team approached the suspected spot, militants fired upon them triggering an encounter. The forces were engaged in the fierce gunfight. This is the third gunfight in Kashmir in February. Three militants have been killed in two encounters in the past one week.

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).
