Days after the Pahalgam terror attack, the BSF and Punjab Police have seized a large quantity of arms and ammunition from the Ajnala border belt here on Friday.

The consignment was apparently dropped by drone, said SSP Maninder Singh.

The seizure included 4.5 kg of explosives suspected to be RDX, six detonators, two remotes, five hand grenades, four pistols, eight magazines, two batteries, two power circuits and 220 live cartridges.

The SSP said the BSF and Punjab Police carried out a search operation at Chak Bala village near Shahpur border outpost following an information provided by the farmers who were harvesting the fields.

A case is being registered, the SSP said.

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).
