The advisory comes after a workers’ protest demanding a salary hike reportedly turned violent, leading to incidents of vandalism, stone pelting and vehicles being set on fire.

Thousands of employees of a private company had been staging a protest for the past three days in the D-Block Hosiery Complex area. The protest intensified on Monday as agitated groups took to the streets, hurling stones, vandalising property and setting vehicles on fire.

The unrest, particularly in Sector 84 and nearby industrial belts, caused major disruptions, with spillover effects seen in areas like Sector 62.
