Delhi-Noida Traffic: A labour union protest demanding higher wages caused severe disruption at the Delhi-Noida border on Monday morning, bringing traffic movement to a halt.

The agitation, which started early in the day, triggered long vehicle queues and heavy congestion on key routes such as NH-9, severely impacting peak-hour office commuters across the Delhi-Noida corridor.
