Jammu, August 1

In a fresh ceasefire violation by the Pakistan army along the Line of Control (LoC), an Army jawan of HP today lost his life in Rajouri sector of Jammu and Kashmir.

Sepoy Rohin Kumar is survived by grandmother, father, mother and an elder sister. Sepoy Kumar had last visited his family in Galore Khas village of Hamirpur in February for an engagement ceremony.

Galore Khas village head Shakuntla Devi told The Tribune on telephone that the soldier’s marriage had been fixed for November 11.

Jammu-based defence spokesperson Lt Col Devender Anand said, “The Pakistan army resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation on the LoC in Rajouri sector. Our troops responded strongly to the enemy fire. Sepoy Kumar was critically injured. He later succumbed to his injuries”. — TNS

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.
