What happened

Tear gas fired at India workers demanding higher wages as living costs rise Factory workers protest in the national capital’s suburb of Noida as living costs across the world rise after the US-Israel war on Iran curbs fuel supplies.

Why it matters

Police have lobbed tear gas shells to quell a factory workers’ protest in the Indian capital’s suburb of Noida after it turned violent on its fourth day, with vehicles torched and stones pelted in parts of the satellite city.

Common ground
