Guwahati: Union Minister of Heavy Industries, H. D. Kumaraswamy has expressed concern over the economic difficulties faced by the Andrew Yule Group’s tea gardens in Assam and its impact on the tea garden wage earners.

Addressing the media in Guwahati, the Union Minister expressed his wish to visit the tea gardens soon and devise strategies for their rejuvenation.

Kumaraswamy was accompanied by Assam Industries, & Commerce Minister Bimal Borah.

He also expressed satisfaction with the implementation of the FAME policy (Faster Adoption & Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) in Assam.

Discussing the progress of FAME, he stated that over Rs 2000 crore would be invested in battery charging stations, resulting in the installation of nearly 70,000 such stations nationwide.
