What Happened

Noida factory workers began protests Friday after learning Haryana increased minimum wages to Rs 18,000 monthly while they earned Rs 11,000 for identical work. The four-day protest escalated Monday into vandalism and arson across industrial areas. Workers also complained about deductions, poor hygiene, long hours, and lack of safety equipment. Haryana revised minimum wages effective April 2026 following Manesar labour unrest.
