12th August, 2008 - Tea strike in Darjeeling

No, this strike is not for sipping trea but a call for the tea strike by the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha is to protest against the planters’ refusal to accept proposed wages for workers. Going by its earlier assurances to keep the hills strike-free till Pujas for tourists, the Morcha has promised that the protest will not spill out of the gardens.
