Once upon a time we were proud of our Tea industry. We used to export a substantial quantity of our production. In Asia , China India and srilanka were the major tea producing countries and our Tea gardens are mainly in Darjeeling jalpaiguri and Duars . The conditions of
of the gardens of the Duars are the worst. The owners are entirely responsible for the deplorable condition of the tea gardens.
They have neglected like anything. As a result , most of the gardens have been closed and the workers are under extreme crisis and almost are under starvation. As a result , a good number of workers have been attacked with various diseases and ultimately died .
It is surprising
that despite our domestic market for tea being so big there should be no crisis.
As per news papers a good number of gardens have not involved themselves in plantation in their gardens and as a result , there is no scope to sell any tea.
It is my humble prayer to the appropriate Authority to take the requisite steps at the earliest so that the golden days of the industry are returned.
