On Thursday, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma held a meeting with the stake holders of tea workers’ organization to revamp ways for Assam Tea Corporation (ATC).
According to the sources, it is decided that ATC may lease out some of its tea gardens in the wake of difficulties in managing such assets.
Also if the parties that would take control over of the management of tea gardens fail to disburse dues or other entitlement of the workers TC will have the right to take over the management. Along with it, three-member committee will be constituted to safeguard the structure.
