Noida Workers' Protest Turns Violent

The massive demonstrations involved an estimated 40,000 protesters and have severely disrupted the industrial hub near Delhi.

Police used tear gas to disperse crowds after vehicles were torched and factories were pelted with stones.

A high-level panel has been established to begin a dialogue with the workers and address their demands for wage revision.

Meanwhile, investigators are probing the role of bot networks and external influences in hijacking the initially peaceful protest.
