The Border Security Force killed two Pakistani intruders who had entered the Indian territory near Khalra of Bhikhiwind sub-division in Tarn Taran district on Friday night.

BSF sources said the jawans deployed near Theh Kalan border outpost observed suspicious movement of intruders who were trying to sneak into the Indian territory.

BSF troops challenged them. However, the intruders continued to move towards the Indian side to cross the border fence.

The BSF troops opened fire and the two intruders were killed.

A search operation is being carried out 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).
