New Delhi/Dibrugarh, April 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited a tea plantation in Dibrugarh on Wednesday, where he interacted with workers and experienced tea plucking during his trip to the poll-bound state of Assam.

During the visit, the Prime Minister spent time with tea garden workers, clicked pictures with them, and observed their daily routine closely. Calling the experience “memorable,” he acknowledged the contribution of tea garden families in shaping Assam’s identity and global recognition.

Highlighting the importance of tea production in the region, Modi described Assam’s tea as an integral part of the state’s heritage and a symbol of its pride worldwide. He appreciated the dedication and resilience of workers, noting that their efforts have helped Indian tea gain international prominence.
