Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma met with representatives from ACMS, ATTSA, NRL, Golaghat District Administration, and Rajabari Tea Estate on Saturday at the NRL Guest House in Numaligarh to resolve all issues concerning the acquisition of 600 bigha land for the Numaligarh Refinery Limited expansion project.

Following a frank discussion and hearing from all parties, the Chief Minister issued several directives for an amicable resolution of the land acquisition matter to ensure that not a single permanent or temporary employee of Rajabari tea garden is impacted by this acquisition.

According to the Chief Minister’s instructions, it has been decided to compensate 156 permanent tea garden workers in the amount of Rs. 5 lakh each. The tea garden management will pay Rs. 4 lakh, while the State government will pay Rs. 1 lakh.

Similarly, 222 temporary workers will be compensated in the amount of Rs. 2.50 lakh each, with the tea garden management paying Rs. 2 lakh and the State government paying Rs. 500,000. NRL has come forward to appoint 100 garden workers, 50 of whom will be permanent and 50 of whom will be temporary.

In response to ATTSA and ACMS representatives’ requests, the Chief Minister stated that steps would be taken to establish a state-of-the-art skill development centre in Numaligarh to serve the interests of local youth, particularly those from the tea gardens. He also assured ACMS that the State government would provide financial support for the construction of a hostel proposed by the organisation at Mission Patty in Golaghat district.
