The lounge is expected to open during Durga Puja. Professionals will be recruited to make it economically viable.
The Assam Government will support the project. There are also plans to tie up with the Tourism Department so that the lounge is publicized for tourists, reports The Assam Tribune.
Assam accounts for nearly 55 per cent of India’s total tea production and about 80 per cent of the country’s export.
