Assam to allot land to tea garden workers

Assam to allot land to tea garden workers

Tea garden workers in Assam have been living without land for over 200 years, which made them feel insecure.

The government has decided to give them land to solve this problem.

This will help them get bank loans, take bail for arrested family members, and make improvements to their homes.

The land allotment will start in gardens managed by the Assam Tea Corporation.

The tea plantations in Assam began when the British ruled the area, and many workers came from different regions in India.

This land allotment is a big step to help the tea workers feel more secure and part of Assamese society.
