Noida Protest Today LIVE Updates: Akshardham-Noida Route Shut As Workers’ Protest Triggers Massive Traffic Chaos

Traffic movement was severely affected across Noida on Monday as protests by hundreds of workers over salary hike issues led to widespread congestion, especially in Sector 62 and nearby areas. Entry into Noida from the Akshardham side was also blocked due to the agitation, further worsening the situation for those travelling from Delhi.

Major routes connecting Sector 62 to Sector 16 and NH-9 were blocked by protesters, resulting in long traffic snarls and delays for commuters.

Protests were reported in multiple locations, including Sector 62, where large groups of workers gathered, climbed onto road dividers, and raised slogans, bringing traffic to a near standstill. Office-goers faced significant delays as movement across key arterial roads remained heavily restricted.

The situation escalated in Phase 2, where tensions ran high and incidents of stone pelting, vehicle arson, and vandalism were reported. A heavy police presence was deployed to manage the crowd and restore order.
