There are about160 tea gardens in Bangladesh. These tea gardens are located mostly in Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Sylhet and Chitagong Hill Tracts. Though these tea gardens increase natural beauty of Bangladesh and add to our foreign currency earning, the woes of tea garden workers have a dampening effect on their performance.

But they never got their due in terms of salary and other benefits. The authorities concerned should look into the matter.
