Noida factory worker protests turn violent

The strike, now in its fourth day, was triggered by a significant pay gap between workers in Noida and neighboring regions.

Thousands of commuters have been left stranded as key routes, including the DND Flyway, were blocked by the protesters.

Authorities have held emergency meetings with labor leaders to discuss welfare measures, but tensions remain high as workers continue to demand a formal salary revision.

The incident highlights growing labor discontent in India's satellite cities as living costs rise due to global economic pressures.
