DIBRUGARH: Around 100 tea workers of Manohari Tea Garden under the aegis of Assam Chah Mazdoor Sangha (ACMS) and Assam Tea Tribe Students' Association (ATTSA) on Tuesday staged a protest in front of Dibrugarh Deputy Commissioner's office against giving tea periodic patta land to Dibrugarh Airport for land acquisition. The workers holding banners and placards protested for an hour in front of the DC office.
"The owner of Manohari Tea estate Rajen Lohia was allegedly planning to sell 175 bigha tea periodic patta land to Dibrugarh Airport. The land belongs to the poor tea garden workers," ATTSA members said. They submitted a memorandum in this regard.
