Three years have passed since the board has been formed and yet, no decision has been taken. We have made certain proposals at the board’s meetings but it has not taken any move,” said Gopal Prodhan, the president of the Dooars Cha Bagan Worker’s Union, affiliated to the RSP.”

This is the first time that a minimum wages advisory board has been formed to fix the minimum wages of the tea workers.  Out of the 792 registered tea gardens in Assam, 685 are spread across the Brahmaputra valley while 107 are situated in the Barak valley.
