Facts about the Tandu tea garden tragedy : Report submitted by Shri Manoranjan Roy to the All-India Trade Union Congress and its West Bengal committee on Tandu tea garden tragedy

Abstract

The document is a report and introduction submitted to members of parliament by the AITUC. In August 1954, a flood destroyed the Tandu tea garden in the Nagrakata area of Jalpaiguri district. 119 people are dead or missing. Based on Manoranjan Roy's report of the event, the AITUC demands that: Members of parliament from all parties should seek to ascertain the full facts of the tragedy; that action be taken against the manager if he is found responsible for sending the workers to their doom (as the report concludes); that families are adequately compensated; that surviving families and workers are provided with rehabilitation.
