Ferozepur, October 15

In the second reported incursion in the sector in the past two days, a drone from across the border dropped a sealed blue packet containing a brick with a wire loop. The Border Security Force (BSF) officials termed it diversionary tactics by anti-India forces.

The officials said the troops heard a buzzing sound and spotted a drone entering into the Indian territory near Mastagarh village from Pakistan. According to sources, the troops fired at the drone, however, it managed to escape and return.

Later, the area was cordoned off and the police, along with other agencies, were informed.

Another drone was spotted by the 182nd Battalion of the BSF near the New Gajniwala border outpost yesterday.

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).
