Chaos erupted in Noida Phase-2 as a workers’ protest over salary disputes spiraled into violence, stone-pelting, and vandalism across multiple sectors. What began as a demonstration quickly spread to areas like Sector 80, 121, and Naya Gaon, creating panic and disruption.

Police forces rushed to control the situation, resorting to lathi charge and mass detentions, with over 300 people arrested. Authorities have now tightened security, deploying heavy police presence and increasing surveillance in sensitive zones.

Workers claim confusion and dissatisfaction over salary changes triggered the unrest, while officials—including Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi—have ordered a high-level probe, alleging possible political instigation behind the chaos.

Although the situation is currently under control, tensions remain high, and discussions are underway to resolve the dispute and prevent further escalation.

Tensions escalated in Noida as a workers’ protest demanding salary hikes turned violent in the Phase-2 industrial area. What began as a peaceful demonstration quickly spiraled into chaos, with reports of stone pelting, vandalism, and damaged property.
