The daily wages of tea garden workers in Assam were hiked by ₹27, the second increase in such payments since the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government came to power in the State in May last year, an official said on August 9. The upward revision of wages will be effective from August 1, he said.
The decision to revise the wages was taken in a meeting among Mr. Sarma, representatives of tea associations and workers’ unions.
