| During the Bharat Bandh or all-India strike today, factories and cars were vandalized in Hoisery complex, phase 2 in Noida near Delhi.
Some factory-owners claim their property was looted.
Harjeev Chawla, one factory owner told NDTV that he began getting calls from around 8am that mobs were roaming around the complex breaking glass panes and setting cars on fire.
"When I came into the complex a few hours later, every single building had their glass broken and I saw several cars either still on fire or completely charred," he said.
Another owner Pankaj Sadh also reiterated how organised mobs were moving around the whole area destroying property. " In my own factory, mobs climbed the gates and walls, broke and carried away computers, damaged the external facade of the building," he said
Other factory owners also told NDTV that many of their frantic calls to the police remained unattended. "When the police finally came they detained some men, but there was a fresh round of arson in retaliation after that," one owner said.
Another bus driver described how his bus was stationary but still targetted and all window panes broken. " The police were definitely outnumbered here. I recognise some boys and they appeared to be from the neighbourhood.
For now the police has increased their presence in the complex but many factory owners feel the damage has already been done
