The Assam Tea Tribe s Students Association has called for a complete shutdown of all tea gardens in Brahmaputra and Barak valley on March 22, against government s alleged negligence towards the tea workers in the state.
ATTSA president Dhiraj Gowala said that government has failed to address problems of tea workers. "The government has given lollipop to the tea workers by hiking the wage to Rs 217. Additional Rs 50 was hiked by the government. We are demanding Rs 351 daily wage hike," he said.
