10 tea plantation workers died due to starvation, malnutrition and lack of medical care during the closure of the garden for 4 months from 8 October, 2011 to 9 February, 2012 in the Bhuvan Valley Tea Estate in Cachar, Assam (India). Tea garden workers get lower than minimum wage, inedible rations and don't even get proper medical facilities. Rajdeep Sardesai of CNN-IBN, Prasenjit Biswas of BHRPC and Anuradha Talwar, a right to food activist discuss the seriousness of the situation. http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/230592/how-serious-is-the-starvation-problem-in-tea-gardens.html
