URGENT & FINAL NOTICE TO ALL WORKERS / EMPLOYEES / LABOUR

 

Ref. No.: NPL/TTE/Workmen-ALL/2025-26      Date: 3rd December, 2025

 

URGENT & FINAL NOTICE

TO ALL WORKERS / EMPLOYEES / LABOUR

 

The Management of Nuddea Plantations Limited is deeply concerned about the continued absence from duty by a large number of Workers / Employees / Labour of the Totapara Tea Garden since 19th October, 2025, without obtaining leave or permission. The present period of unauthorized absence has now reached 39 (Thirty-Nine) Days, which has pushed the Garden into a state of industrial and financial emergency.

 

Despite repeated appeals, issuance of multiple notices, and a tripartite discussion held in the Office of the Assistant Labour Commissioner, Kathalguri Building, Kadamtala, Jalpaiguri on 24/11/2025, a section of workers has deliberately refused to rejoin duty, crippling the functioning of the Garden.

 

During this unlawful absence, the following serious consequences have already occurred;

(i)   Complete loss of crop due to non-plucking, pushing the Garden into extreme financial distress.

(ii)  Inability to raise operational funds, affecting wage security, rations, medical services, and welfare facilities.

(iii)                Massive destruction and theft of Garden properties, including cutting of shade trees, uprooting of tea bushes, and other illegal activities endangering the estate and its residents.

 

The continuation of such actions is not only illegal but gravely endangers the livelihood, safety, and the future of thousands of dependent families living inside the Garden.

 

In the larger interest of all workmen and to protect their livelihood, the Management hereby issues this FINAL CALL: All Workers / Employees / Labour are directed to resume duty immediately within 3 (Three) Days / 72 (Seventy-Two) Hours from the date and time of issuance of this Notice.

Attendance shall be taken at the factory gate / respective division sheds.

Failure to comply within the stipulated time will result in the following actions without further notice;

 

  1. Removal of names from muster roll for continuous unauthorized absence;
  2. Blocking of wage and statutory benefits of non-attendees as per law;
  3. Disciplinary and legal action against individuals found involved in unlawful destruction and theft of Garden properties;
  4. Police complaint and criminal proceedings for trespass, theft, and disturbance of industrial peace.

 

The Management reiterates that this final notice is being issued not against the workers, but for the workers, to restore normalcy, protect employment, and secure the future of their families and the Garden.

 

All workers are therefore urged to act responsibly and resume duty without fail so that wages, rations, plucking operations, and other welfare benefits can restart immediately.

 
By Order of the Management

Nuddea Plantations Limited
Totapara Tea Garden
