A rusted anti-tank mine and an old mortar shell were defused after they were found by villagers at separate places in Samba district, officials said on Monday. The anti-tank mine was noticed by a farmer working in his fields near the Regal border outpost this morning, the officials said. They said the farmer immediately informed the concerned Border Security Force (BSF) unit and the mine was later safely defused by experts. The mortar shell was found lying in the garbage in Balole Khad in the Bari Brahmana area on Sunday evening and was subsequently defused by the bomb disposal squad of police, the officials 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).
