The Assam Chah Mazdoor Sangha (ACMS) on Tuesday demanded a hike in tea garden workers? wage.  ACMS further said that the workers of small tea gardens in the state are suffering due to non-fixation of their wages.

Addressing a press conference at Dibrugarh on Tuesday, ACMS president and former Union minister Paban Singh Ghatowar criticised the government for failing to fix the wages of the workers at small tea gardens. Ghatowar said that workers engaged in small tea gardens but their condition is very poor and they are exploited by the owners of the small tea gardens.He further said that there is no fixed wage for them as the government has failed to address their issues. Even after knowing the problems of the workers of small tea gardens, the government is not taking any initiative."

ACMS president Ghatowar said, ?We are holding peaceful protests across the state in support of our 11 charter of demands. The government has not given us permission to organize the Dispur Chalo programme. But our peaceful protest will go on till our demand is not met.? Ghatowar further said, ?To raise the minimum wages of the tea garden workers, a meeting was recently held in Guwahati on February 6. We clearly urged to raise the minimum wages up to Rs 351. It?s a long pending demand of the ACMS and the government should prioritise the issue.?
