Noida Industrial Protests Turn Violent

Noida's industrial sectors were paralyzed as an estimated 40,000 workers demonstrated over wage grievances and rising living costs.

The agitation turned destructive on its fourth day, with protesters setting fire to factories and damaging vehicles across the city.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ordered a high-level probe into 'external interference,' suggesting the unrest may have been hijacked by disruptive elements.

Hundreds of individuals have been detained as security forces struggle to restore order and clear major transit routes impacted by the chaos.
