The Assam Tea Tribe Students' Association (ATTSA) has withdrawn its tea garden bandh on Monday. The ATTSA called for the bandh demanding an increase of the tea garden workers' daily wage to Rs 351. However, the matter of tea garden workers' daily wage is now pending with the Gauhati High Court after the tea garden owners filed petition in court. "We have decided to withdraw the bandh because the matter was in the Gauhati High Court. As of now, we have decided to postpone the bandh," a tea tribe leader said.
