They plucked tea leaves within a distance of less than three feet.

It caused distress to the tea garden workers to visit health center to avail the basic health care. They are in fear of forceful COVID test and detained in isolation in case of simply cold fever or minor illnesses. The present paper examined the distress caused by the pandemic to the tea garden workers in Assam, their experience sand ways to overcome by them. The present study is descriptive in nature. Published data through newspapers, periodic and government sources have been analyzed. Qualitative and in-depth interviews of the selective respondents have been administered to make it more robust in drawing the inference.
