As the cash crisis persists following spiking of high-value currency notes on November 8, the Assam and Tripura governments have taken special steps for the tea garden workers, officials said on Tuesday. Officials of the two northeastern states have held meetings with senior officials of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and public sector banks to ease the payment-related problems of tea garden workers, mostly migrant labourers, a large number of whom do not have bank accounts.
