Gadchiroli (M’rashtra), Apr 30

Three Naxalites, including a dalam commander, were killed in an encounter with the police in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra on Sunday, an official said.

The exchange of fire took place around 7 pm in the Kedmara forest of the district, he said. Gadchiroli SP Neelotpal said, “The police had received information that members of Perimili and Aheri dalams of Naxalites were camping in a forest area between Mane Rajaram and the Perimili armed outpost. Two units of the police were sent from Pranhita. During a search operation, the Naxalites opened fire on the police following which the latter retaliated.”

“After the exchange of fire, the bodies of three Naxalites were recovered from the spot along with weapons and other material,” the SP said.

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).
