Noida Workers Protest Today Live Updates: Employees continued their protest for a second consecutive day on Tuesday in Noida’s Phase 2 area, demanding a salary hike and other workplace benefits. Incidents of vandalism were also reported from Sectors 63, 65 and 57, while several factories in Sectors 58, 59, 60 and 64 remained shut amid the unrest. Police personnel remained deployed at the site to maintain order and prevent any escalation, even as workers gathered outside the company premises, raising slogans and pressing for their demands.
The ongoing protest comes a day after the violent unrest in the industrial hub disrupted traffic movement across key routes, with the closure of the Chilla border choking the DND Flyway and triggering massive snarls. Authorities had earlier announced a series of measures to address worker grievances, including a weekly off, double overtime pay, timely salaries, bonuses, and improved safety standards, following days of demonstrations over wage disparities with neighbouring Haryana.
However, despite these assurances, protests in Phase 2 and Sector 60 turned violent on April 13, with incidents of stone pelting, vandalism and arson reported. Vehicles were damaged and traffic was severely affected, prompting heavy deployment of police and paramilitary forces across Noida and key Delhi border points. Officials said the situation remains under close watch as efforts continue to restore normalcy and engage with workers through dialogue.
