Nuh gears up to host G20 meeting next month

The G20 meeting in Nuh is significant because on July 31, the district witnessed large-scale communal violence, which led to the death of six persons. The violence in the next few days also spread to Gurugram, Sohna, Palwal and Tauru, and it was contained only after paramilitary forces were deployed in Nuh
