Workers’ Protest Over Pay Hike Turns Violent in Noida; Stones Pelted, Vehicles Damaged A violent protest erupted in Phase 2 of Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on April 13, 2026, as workers from a private company gathered to demand higher salaries and improved working conditions. The demonstration, initially peaceful, escalated into chaos when protesters began vandalizing vehicles and throwing stones at law enforcement officers. The unrest led to the deployment of heavy police forces, including the use of tear gas to disperse the crowd and restore order. Authorities confirmed that the situation is now under control, though details about the incident remain limited. The protest was sparked by employees’ dissatisfaction with their compensation and workplace policies. Workers reportedly demanded several key changes, including the payment of bonuses, the introduction of weekly off days, additional overtime pay, and the timely release of salaries. They also called for the establishment of a sexual harassment committee, a grievance resolution cell, and the regular issuance of salary slips to ensure transparency. These demands were reportedly not met by the company, prompting the workers to take to the streets. During the protest, multiple vehicles were damaged, and property was destroyed as tensions flared. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with protesters clashing with police and hurling stones at officers. The police responded by forming a cordon around the area and using tear gas to drive the crowd back. Despite the violence, authorities stated that efforts are ongoing to de-escalate the situation and prevent further unrest. The incident has raised concerns about labor rights and workplace grievances in the region.#workers #police #uttar_pradesh #noida_phase_2 #private_company
