Assam Tea Garden Owners At "Liberty" To Decide On Wage Hike: High Court | Read

Tea garden owners in Assam will have the "liberty" to decide if they want to follow the state government's order on raising wages for workers, the Gauhati High Court said in an interim order on Tuesday, days after saying no "coercive action" can be taken against them for not following it. The issue has become an important one for both the incumbent BJP and the main opposition Congress ahead of elections that start later this month.
