Uttar Pradesh Police Closely Monitor Noida Labour Unrest Situation
In Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Krishna and Additional Director General (ADG) of Law and Order Amitabh Yash are actively monitoring the ongoing labour unrest in Noida. The senior police officials are overseeing the developing situation in real time and issuing necessary directions to field units to ensure effective management of the dispute.
Police and Administration Engage Stakeholders for Peaceful Resolution
According to officials at the DGP Headquarters, the Noida Police and the local administration are proactively engaging with workers, company management, and other relevant stakeholders. The primary objective is to facilitate a peaceful and fair resolution to the labour dispute. Authorities have explicitly prioritized dialogue, mediation, and consensus-building approaches over the use of force, in strict alignment with directives from the state government.
Traffic Diversions and Public Advisory Issued
To minimize public inconvenience, traffic diversions have been strategically implemented in the affected areas of Noida. Citizens have been strongly advised to avoid unnecessary movement towards the protest sites and to utilize alternative routes for their travel. This measure aims to maintain normalcy and ensure safety for the general public during the period of unrest.
Heavy Security Deployment Across Noida and Sensitive Areas
Comprehensive security arrangements have been established throughout Noida and adjoining sensitive locations. Adequate deployment of local police forces, the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), paramilitary units, and senior officials has been ensured to maintain strict law and order. Surveillance operations have also been intensified in neighbouring districts to prevent any potential spillover effects from the labour agitation.
Police Crack Down on Social Media Misinformation
The Uttar Pradesh Police have initiated a significant crackdown on misinformation being circulated through various social media platforms regarding the labour issue. Two specific X (formerly Twitter) handles have been officially booked for allegedly spreading false and provocative content designed to inflame tensions.
Furthermore, law enforcement agencies have identified more than 50 bot accounts that were created within the last 24 hours. These accounts are suspected of deliberately spreading rumours and misleading narratives related to the Noida labour dispute.
Special Task Force to Investigate Digital Misinformation
The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) will conduct a detailed digital investigation into these identified social media accounts and bot networks. Authorities have promised strict legal action against individuals found guilty of orchestrating or participating in these misinformation campaigns. Senior police officials have appealed to the public to exercise caution and not believe or share any unverified information, videos, or messages. Citizens are urged to rely exclusively on official police and government sources for accurate updates on the situation.
DGP Reiterates Commitment to Peaceful Resolution
Reiterating the police force's unwavering commitment, DGP Rajeev Krishna stated that the top priority remains resolving the Noida labour situation through peace, constructive dialogue, and sensitivity towards all parties involved. He issued a stern warning that strict legal action would be taken against anyone involved in acts of violence or damage to public and private property. Such actions will be prosecuted under relevant laws, and compensation for any damages incurred will be recovered from the offenders.
