Protests by factory workers in Noida's Phase-2, Uttar Pradesh, escalated into violence on Monday as demonstrators demanded wage increases. The unrest began several days ago, with workers expressing frustration over unmet promises for a ₹20,000 salary hike. Tensions flared when police intervened, resulting in a female worker being struck by a police baton, prompting protestors to set fire to vehicles and vandalize police property. Authorities have deployed heavy police presence to restore order and manage the situation, while traffic at the Delhi-Noida border has been severely affected. In response to the unrest, Delhi Police have heightened security measures at key entry points to the national capital, ensuring that law and order are maintained. Officials have urged the public to disregard rumors and assured them that efforts are underway to restore normalcy in the affected areas.
