Five Naxals, including four women, were killed in an exchange of fire with the police in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra on Sunday, officials said.

The face-off took place at Kosmi-Kisneli forest around 4 pm, the Gadchiroli SP office said.

“The C-60 commandos of the Gadchiroli police were conducting a combing operation in the forest area in Dhanora taluka, when Naxals opened fire,” it said in a statement.

“However, the Naxals soon fled from the spot after the police team launched a retaliatory attack,” it said. — PTI

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).
