Hundreds of farmers are protesting against the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) in front of its office. The protest has almost completed two months, but the farmers are yet to receive any assurance from the authority.

The farmers are demanding better compensation from the authority in return for land it took from them for industrial development purposes. They are also asking the GNIDA to fulfil other promises it made while taking their land.

The Wire reached the protest site to understand the farmers' concerns. They told The Wire that many of them have been jailed by the police for protesting against the GNIDA and are yet to get bail.
