Chandrachur Singh found himself at the centre of an unexpected moment during a demolition drive in Gurugram’s DLF area when he stepped out of his house to talk to officials after a bulldozer demolished a ramp outside his home. A video of the conversation has since gone viral, with many people praising how calm and polite it was. The drive was carried out by the Town and Country Planning Department on Friday to remove illegal constructions in the area. Several structures were demolished for breaking building rules, including the ramp outside Singh’s house.
