Noida Factory Workers' Violent Protest

For the fourth consecutive day, the satellite city of Noida has been rocked by intense clashes between police and hosiery complex workers.

The agitation escalated as protesters blocked major roads at the Chilla Border, causing massive traffic gridlock across the region.

Authorities have deployed additional security forces and used tear gas to disperse the crowds, while 200 individuals have been detained.

The unrest highlights deep-seated frustration over pay disparities and the impact of the Middle East conflict on local energy and food prices.
