A cache of ammunition, including two rocket-propelled grenades and five hand grenades, were recovered from Punjab's SBS Nagar district, the state police chief said on Tuesday.

“Preliminary probe indicates a coordinated operation by #Pakistan's ISI and allied terror outfits to revive sleeper cells in #Punjab,” Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said in a post on X.

In a joint operation with a central agency, Punjab Police recovered the cache of terrorist hardware in an intelligence-led operation in a forest area near Tibba Nangal Kular Road, SBS Nagar, he said.

He said two RPGs, two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), five hand grenades and a wireless communication set have been recovered.

A case under relevant provisions has been registered at the police station of the State Special Operation Cell in Amritsar.

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).
