Frequent power cuts hit tea industry [1]

Frequent and unscheduled power cuts for long hours as well as low voltage created havoc for majority of the tea estates of Assam and industry sources said that if the situation does not improve soon, most of the gardens would face serious problems soon. Tea Industry sources told The Assam Tribune today that in recent times, majority of the gardens faced serious problems due to frequent power cuts and in some places of the State, the gardens located in the remote areas faced power cuts for as many as 20 hours in a day.
