Ferozepur, October 28

The troops belonging to 136 Battalion of the BSF seized a cache of arms and ammunition in this sector.

According to information, the BSF troops on patrol duty near border outpost Jagdish found a bag near the zero line along the Indo-Pakistan border. During the search of this bag, three AK assault rifles with six magazines, three mini AK-47 rifles with five magazines, three pistols (Beretta) with six empty magazines along with 200 live rounds were found.

The bag was found from an arean in the alignment of border pillar number no 192/13 along the border.

Later, an FIR under the Arms Act was registered against unidentified people at State Special Operation Cell in Fazilka.

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).
