Kolkata, Sept. 13 Expressing concern over the devastation caused by floods to several tea gardens in Dooars and Terai regions in the northern part of West Bengal, Mr Shashank Prashad, President of Tea Association of India, has urged all concerned to take a reasonable stand in the forthcoming industry-wise bipartite bonus negotiations for 2006-07, keeping in view the affordability of the gardens.

The annual bonus negotiations will start on September 14. “A rational approach is needed in the interest of all stakeholders”, Mr Prashad has observed in a statement issued here. He has also urged the State Government to come to the help of the tea industry by undertaking on an urgent basis the repair of roads and bridges.
