Guwahati: Residents at the Nalini Tea Estate in Tinsukia, Assam, are living in squalor. They lack basic infrastructure. Damaged walls and missing tin sheets plague workers' homes, letting monsoon rains flood living spaces. Transportation remains a nightmare because the estate roads are in ruin.
Healthcare is non-existent. The estate hospital has operated without a doctor for years. Sick residents show up for help and walk away empty-handed. Public money has also gone to waste. Shelter homes for women and children's play areas sit empty, buried under overgrown vegetation despite costing crores of rupees.
Makum MLA Sanjay Kishan visited the site this Thursday to see the decay himself. He walked the grounds and listened to the workers. Kishan slammed the current state of the estate, demanding that officials act now. He wants a doctor hired immediately and the broken roads fixed. He told the administration to revive all the non-functional government buildings.
Kishan expressed dissatisfaction over the condition of the facilities and directed the concerned departments and administration to initiate prompt measures. The fate of the estate now rests on whether the administration follows his orders.
