Noida saw a heated protest by workers demanding better pay, timely salaries, bonuses, and safer workplaces, including a call for a sexual harassment committee and grievance cell.
Things got out of hand with stone-pelting and damaged vehicles in Phase 2, leading police to step in with tear gas to break up the crowd.

Just before the unrest, top district officials met to talk about keeping things peaceful at work.
