Chandigarh, September 22

A bizarre incident has been reported from Gurugram where officials of Metropolitan Development Authoritywere reportedly taken hostages at gun point by locals for construction of a dilapidated road patch.

As per a report of Hindustan Times, police arrested 30 residents of Gurugram’s Naurangpur village for forcing GMDA officials to construct a patch of road overnight in their village.

As per police, Hoshiar Singh, a local resident among the ones arrested, initiated the ruckus as he wanted a patch of road in front of his petrol pump be constructed. However, he refuted the claim of police stating that all villagers wanted the road to be constructed as over 20 mishaps had taken place in last few months there.

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).
