Barak Valley News : Rajdeep Goala, general secretary of Barak Tea Workers Union, held a detailed discussion with the garden authorities on various problems of the garden workers of Bhuban Valley Tea Garden. The discussion meeting was held on Tuesday. The garden workers decided to go on strike on June 7.

Although the government had decided to pay the garden workers a wage of Rs 228.00, the Bhuban Valley Garden Authority is not implementing the government's decision. After this news reached the workers' union, the union intervened. The workers were told that the issue would be discussed and resolved soon. On the assurance of the union, the garden workers withdrew the agitation and joined the work.
