Jorhat tea garden workers protest over delayed Durga Puja bonus

Hundreds of tea garden workers from Naginijan and Sotai Tea Estates in Jorhat launched a cease-work protest on Friday, demanding their Durga Puja bonus. With the festival just two days away, workers are distressed by the non-payment, alleging other estates have already disbursed the 20% bonus. They vow to continue protesting until their rightful dues are met.
