रोङ्गो सिन्कोना बगानका ६६ श्रमिक स्थायीकरणको पर्खाइमा

Description

Since 11 November 2025, 66 new workers have been employed on a temporary basis at Rongo Cinchona Garden. According to the garden's stated employment arrangement, when a worker is promoted and retires, one member of their family is eligible to receive employment. These 66 workers were given jobs under the direction of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA).

However, the workers are still waiting for a permanent employment order from the higher authorities. According to the information shared by the workers, the delay has affected the lives of around 330 family members.

The workers say they are being denied benefits available to other workers because the regularisation order has not been issued by the Kolkata departmental authorities and the Director's Office. These benefits include EPF, paid holidays, DLI, medical facilities and house repair support.

This video highlights the working conditions and concerns of the 66 temporary workers at Rongo Cinchona Garden, as well as their demand for permanent employment status and equal access to workers' benefits.

When will the regularisation order be issued, and when will these workers receive the benefits they are seeking?

रोङ्गो सिन्कोना बगानमा ११ नोभेम्बर २०२५ देखि ६६ जना नयाँ श्रमिक अस्थायी रूपमा काम गर्दै आएका छन्। बगानको नियमअनुसार कुनै श्रमिक पदोन्नति भएर सेवानिवृत्त भएपछि उनको परिवारका एक सदस्यले काम पाउने प्रावधान रहेको बताइएको छ। सोही व्यवस्थाअनुसार गोर्खाल्याण्ड क्षेत्रीय प्रशासन (GTA) को निर्देशनमा यी ६६ जनाले काम पाएका थिए।

तर, अहिलेसम्म उच्च विभागबाट स्थायीकरणको आदेश नआएकाले उनीहरूको रोजगारी र भविष्य अन्योलमा परेको छ। यसबाट करिब ३३० जनाको जीवन प्रभावित भएको बताइएको छ।

कोलकाता विभागीय निर्देशन र डाइरेक्टर अफिसबाट स्थायीकरणको आदेश नआएको कारण देखाउँदै यी श्रमिकहरूलाई अन्य श्रमिकसरहका सुविधाबाट वञ्चित राखिएको उनीहरूको भनाइ छ। उनीहरूले EPF, सवेतन बिदा (Paid Holidays), DLI, स्वास्थ्य सुविधा (Medical Facilities) र घर मर्मत (House Repair) जस्ता सुविधाहरू पाएका छैनन्।

यो भिडियोले रोङ्गो सिन्कोना बगानका ६६ अस्थायी श्रमिकको अवस्था, उनीहरूले भोगिरहेका समस्या र आफ्नो अधिकार सुनिश्चित हुनुपर्ने मागलाई उजागर गर्छ। अब प्रश्न छ—उनीहरूको स्थायीकरणको आदेश कहिले आउँछ र अन्य श्रमिकसरहका सुविधाहरू कहिले सुनिश्चित हुन्छन्?
