Tea Garden Workers Protest Bonus Payment Terms on Highway

Workers at a tea garden blocked a highway because they were unhappy with their bonus.

They wanted a 20% bonus all at once or their due wages, but the management offered the 20% in three parts.

This caused a protest where the workers blocked the road for a few hours.

The workers felt this was unfair, especially as they were also owed wages from the past few months.

The management claims they are offering the same bonus structure across multiple estates, with the first installment planned before a major holiday.
