What began as a verbal argument soon turned into a physical fight. Police alleged that Neeraj picked up an empty plastic milk crate lying outside a nearby shop and struck a local man on the head.

A woman who stepped in to stop the fight was also hit on the head with the crate and fell onto the road. She was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

मसूरी में हरियाणा से आए एक पर्यटक और स्थानीय लोगों के बीच मामूली बात को लेकर विवाद हो गया, जो मारपीट में बदल गया। घटना का वीडियो सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल है। पुलिस ने मौके पर पहुंचकर एक व्यक्ति को हिरासत में लिया और उसके खिलाफ बीएनएसएस की धारा 170 के तहत कार्रवाई की। संबंधित वाहन का… pic.twitter.com/0s25UuEiNz

28 जून की रात मसूरी मॉल रोड पर हुई घटना सिर्फ़ एक खबर नहीं, एक सवाल भी है। पुलिस ने तत्काल कार्रवाई कर स्थिति नियंत्रित की। लेकिन क्या हमारी सबसे बड़ी चुनौती बढ़ती भीड़ है... या घटता धैर्य?

आज से 20 साल पहले मसूरी ऐसा नहीं था।

चार महीनों का सीजन होता था और कभी स्थानीय और पर्यटकों में कोई विवाद नहीं हल्का फूल्का हो तो हो।

पर आज 12 महीनों का सीजन और रोज स्थानीय और पर्यटकों के बीच में मारपीट की घटना

जानते है इसकी असली वजह है हर रोज का सीजन पहले कम समय तक काम होता था… pic.twitter.com/FUbHs2nvHm

मसूरी मॉल रोड पर पर्यटकों और स्थानिए लोगों के बीच मार पीट।

इन पहाड़ियों को रोजगार पर्यटकों की वजह से चलता है। लेकिन ये इन्ही के साथ मारपीट कर रहें हैं।

गोवा का टूरिज्म भी कुछ इसी तरह तबाह हुआ है। 

और एक लड़की पर जानलेवा हमला नामर्द ही कर सकते हैं।#utrakhand#masooripic.twitter.com/gzVATnLQNb
