Bagdogra, 03rd May: A large pile of garbage in the Singhijhora tea garden, located near Bagdogra, has triggered serious concerns among the local workers. The accumulating waste is not only creating a foul smell across the tea garden but is also leading to the spread of diseases, raising alarm in the community.
In response, workers of the Singhijhora tea estate expressed their frustration by staging a protest outside the Upper Bagdogra Gram Panchayat. On Saturday, they demonstrated with placards, demanding immediate action to address the issue.
Upon receiving information about the protest, the Upa Pradhan of the Upper Bagdogra Gram Panchayat arrived at the scene to assess the situation. The protesting workers warned that if the matter is not resolved promptly, they would intensify their agitation.
A memorandum outlining their demands was submitted to the Upa Pradhan, who, in turn, assured the workers that the problem would be resolved at the earliest.
