On April 13, 2023, protests by workers demanding wage revisions in Noida escalated into violence, causing significant disruptions at Delhi's borders. The unrest began early in the morning, with workers gathering and eventually leading to stone-pelting and vandalism in Noida's Phase-2 and Sector 60. This resulted in severe traffic congestion at the Chilla Border, a crucial entry point between Delhi and Noida, where vehicles were stuck for hours. Commuters expressed their frustration on social media, highlighting the lack of traffic management by authorities. In response, the Delhi Police placed the city on high alert, deploying additional personnel and reinforcing barricades to maintain law and order. Traffic advisories recommended alternative routes, but congestion persisted throughout the day, affecting office-goers and train passengers alike.
