Approximately 3.5 lakh residents have been waiting for 10 years for the implementation of Metro services, which they argue is essential for their daily commute. The protest has seen participation from over 50 housing societies, with protesters raising slogans demanding urgent action on the Metro project.

In a symbolic gesture, participants pulled a mock Metro pillar to emphasize their plight. “We have been waiting for 10 years for this essential service to be implemented. The time for mere promises is over; we need action,” stated Abhishek Kumar, president of NEFOWA.

Meanwhile, protests in Noida Phase 2 have escalated, with workers demanding a salary hike. This unrest has led to vandalism and the arrest of around 50 individuals, with police employing tear gas to control the situation. Two vehicles were set on fire during the protests in Sector 84, causing significant traffic disruptions across the area.

Authorities have issued a traffic advisory due to ongoing congestion and diversions, urging residents to avoid the affected routes. Brijesh Kumar, a resident of Greater Noida West, expressed frustration over the situation, saying, “We are compelled to face heavy traffic congestion, wasted travel time, and daily inconveniences. We are no longer satisfied with mere assurances. We demand concrete action.”

Noida Police have urged workers to maintain peace and restraint, stating, “Necessary action is being taken, and minimum force is being used.” As the protests continue, the community’s call for Metro connectivity remains urgent and unresolved.
