A protest by factory workers in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, escalated into violence on Monday after police clashed with demonstrators demanding higher wages. Workers at the Hosiery Complex reported earning just ₹13,000 per month for 12-hour shifts, far below their demand of ₹20,000 for an 8-hour workday. Many expressed frustration over stagnant wages amidst rising living costs, including increased rent and gas prices. The protests, which have been ongoing for several days, led to significant traffic disruptions, particularly on the Delhi-Noida DND Flyway, as authorities closed the Chilla Border. In response, Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam met with labor officials to address workers' concerns regarding overtime pay, bonuses, and workplace safety. The situation remains tense as heavy police presence is maintained in the area.
