A CPI(M) delegation led by general secretary M A Baby staged two sit-in protests outside the Noida district magistrate's residence after being stopped by police at the Delhi-Noida border. The delegation sought to meet detained trade union leaders and the DM, Medha Roopam, but faced delays and were taken to a police camp instead. Two CITU leaders were reportedly detained near the DM's residence, with authorities initially denying this. The protests ended after discussions with senior officials and the release of the detained leaders.
