GUWAHATI: Tea garden workers in the State are set for agitation yet again as the recent hike in their wage is still on tenterhooks. The All Tea Tribe Students Association (ATTSA) has already called tea garden bandh on March 22.
The ATTSA had its central executive meeting on Thursday when it took a strategy to resume the protest seeking wage hike.
The association blames it on the BJP government in the State for the present situation regarding the hike in tea labourers wage. The ATTSA feels that had the State government hiked the wage by September-October 2020, the issue could have been settled by now .
