Furious Escalation: Assam Tea Workers Clash with Police Over Unmet Bonus Demands in Baksa

Police employed a lathi charge to disperse protesting tea workers at Fatemabad Tea Estate in Baksa district. The protest erupted as workers demanded a 20 percent bonus, which the garden authorities and the Assam Tea Mazdoor Sangh Fatemabad Tea Garden Committee refused, offering only an 8 percent bonus instead. One worker was seriously injured during the police action, with several others sustaining injuries. The workers were frustrated and dissatisfied, criticizing the police response as excessive and unjustified.
