Eight lower-rung Naxalites were arrested in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh, the police said on Sunday.

The arrested cadres were planning to plant an IED between the Usoor-Tekmetla route to target security forces. Security personnel also seized explosives from them.

They were apprehended on Saturday by security personnel between the Usoor and Tekmetla villages during an anti-Naxal operation by the District Reserve Guard and the local police, an official 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).
