The Border Security Force thwarted an infiltration attempt by three Pakistani intruders along the India-Pakistan international border in Punjab’s Pathankot district, officials said on Thursday.

BSF personnel opened fire when they noticed suspicious movement of three people trying to enter into the Indian territory around 10.15 pm on Wednesday, a BSF official said.

He said the three went back after the BSF troops posted at the Paharipur border outpost fired gunshots to stop them.

A joint search operation was being conducted in the area by the BSF and Punjab Police, a police official said. PTI

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).
