The office of the United News of India in Delhi was sealed on Friday night following a High Court order cancelling the allotment of land to the news agency.

UNI alleged that no notice was given before the action and that the office was “forcibly vacated”.

The premises were sealed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs’ Land and Development Office in the presence of the Delhi Police and with the Central Reserve Police Force, reported The Hindu.

“Despite requests from employees to be given some time and to wait for the arrival of company management, and demands to show a notice, they forcibly dragged and pushed some employees, including female staff, away from their seats and out of the newsroom,” alleged the news agency. “During this, they were also subjected to verbal abuse.”
