During a visit to Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reaffirmed his commitment to supporting workers, recalling how the 'double-engine' government assisted them during the COVID-19 pandemic. His comments came in response to violent protests by factory workers in Noida, where demands for salary hikes led to unrest, including stone-pelting and arson. Adityanath urged workers to be cautious of those inciting unrest and encouraged direct dialogue between entrepreneurs and their employees. He announced the implementation of a minimum honorarium for workers, ensuring that payments are made directly into their bank accounts without intermediaries. The government is also enhancing labor welfare measures, including mandatory double overtime pay and timely wage disbursements. Amid the unrest, police have increased their presence in industrial zones to maintain order and restore normalcy.
