As tensions rose, the protest turned violent, resulting in several vehicles being vandalized and at least one set on fire. Incidents of stone pelting were also reported, causing damage to property in the area. In response to the chaos, a heavy police presence was deployed to restore order.

District Magistrate Medha Rupam addressed the situation, urging workers to maintain peace and avoid falling prey to rumors. She emphasized the importance of continuing their duties without resorting to violence.

In an effort to address the grievances of the workers, the district administration announced a series of measures. Factories are now required to ensure a weekly day off for every worker and to pay double for any overtime worked. Additionally, workers can expect their annual bonuses to be disbursed before November 30.

To further support the workforce, a 24×7 control room has been established, providing immediate assistance to workers. This initiative aims to foster better communication between the administration and the labor force.

Moreover, the administration has mandated the formation of Internal Complaints Committees in all workplaces to prevent incidents of sexual harassment, reflecting a broader commitment to worker welfare and safety.

As the situation develops, observers are keenly watching how these measures will impact the ongoing unrest and whether they will quell the demands for better wages and working conditions.
