<p data-end="1164" data-start="853">He urged workers not to fall prey to misinformation and reiterated that the government remains committed to their welfare.

<p data-end="1532" data-start="1347">Following the Chief Minister’s directive, the labour department has taken a major step in favour of workers by constituting a high-level committee to address industrial unrest in Noida.</p>
<p data-end="1733" data-start="1534">The panel will be chaired by the Industrial Development Commissioner and will include senior officials such as the Additional Chief Secretary (MSME) and the Principal Secretary (Labour &amp; Employment).</p>

</ul>
<p data-end="2063" data-start="1898">The move is aimed at initiating structured dialogue between stakeholders and resolving wage-related disputes that have triggered protests across the industrial belt.</p>
<h2 data-end="2100" data-section-id="obt4so" data-start="2070"><strong>Why workers are protesting?</strong></h2>
<p data-end="2330" data-start="2102">The protests stem from long-pending demands for wage revision and better working conditions. Thousands of workers from multiple industrial units gathered across Noida, particularly in Phase 2, raising slogans and blocking roads.</p>
<p data-end="2477" data-start="2332">Their key demands include higher minimum wages, fair overtime pay, regulated working hours, timely salary payments and improved workplace safety.</p>

<p data-end="2944" data-start="2726">The protest turned violent in parts of Noida, with incidents of stone-pelting, arson and vandalism reported from sectors 59, 60 and 62. Vehicles were set on fire and factory premises were damaged as tensions escalated.</p>

<h2 data-end="3460" data-section-id="1q1a7j0" data-start="3404"><strong>FIRs filed over misinformation, police issue warning</strong></h2>
<p data-end="3617" data-start="3462">Uttar Pradesh Police said FIRs are being registered against social media handles accused of spreading rumours and misleading information about the protest.</p>
<p data-end="3845" data-start="3619">Officials warned that strict legal action will be taken against those attempting to incite unrest or circulate false claims. The public has been urged to rely only on verified information and avoid sharing unconfirmed reports.</p>
<h2><strong>Labour Minister Anil Rajbhar urges workers to stay calm</strong></h2>
<p>Uttar Pradesh Labour Minister Anil Rajbhar said the violence in Noida points towards a possible conspiracy aimed at disrupting industrial peace, urging workers not to fall prey to “anti-India elements”. He emphasised that the government stands with workers and is sensitive to their demands, adding that concerns should be raised through official channels. Rajbhar noted that workers have played a crucial role in Uttar Pradesh’s development and assured that the government remains committed to protecting their rights and resolving issues through dialogue.</p>
<h2><strong>Situation under constant monitoring, dialogue continues: DGP</strong></h2>
<p>Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police Rajeev Krishna said the situation in Noida is under continuous high-level monitoring, with senior officials, including ADG (Law and Order) Amitabh Yash, tracking developments from the control room. He said authorities are maintaining constant coordination with workers, management and administration to ensure a peaceful and fair resolution. Traffic diversions have been implemented in affected areas, and commuters have been advised to use alternative routes to avoid disruption.</p>
<h2><strong>Strict action on misinformation, security tightened across Noida</strong></h2>
<p>Police said maintaining law and order remains the top priority, with adequate deployment of local police, PAC and paramilitary forces across sensitive areas in Noida and adjoining districts. Officials reiterated that the focus is on dialogue and mediation rather than force, while warning of strict legal action against those involved in violence, arson or spreading misinformation. FIRs have been registered against social media handles circulating false claims, and more than 50 suspicious bot accounts have been identified, pointing to a possible organised attempt to incite unrest.</p>
