Guwahati/Tinsukia, November 14

An encounter broke out on Monday between a team of army personnel and militants in a forest in Assam’s Tinsukia district, a defence spokesperson said.

The exchange of fire started at around 9.20am in Barpathar when the Army team was patrolling the area, he said.

“The army patrol party was out on routine duty when the encounter started. Details are awaited. The operation is still going on,” he said.

Locals claimed that they heard the sound of at least one major explosion.

The Pengeri-Digboi road has been closed for the public and additional forces, including the state police, have been deployed in the area.

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).
