The Border Security Force (BSF) foiled an infiltration bid along the International Border in Punjab in the wee hours of Wednesday and shot dead an intruder.

“During pre-dawn on February 26, BSF troops observed a suspicious movement across the border near Tashpatan border outpost in the Pathankot sector,” a BSF officer said.

An intruder was observed crossing the border and was challenged by the troops but he paid no heed and kept on moving ahead.

Sensing a threat troops neutralised him. His Identity and motive is being ascertained and a strong protest will be lodged with Pakistan Rangers, he added.

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).
