India's malnourished tea workers


It's just after dawn on the Ramjhora estate in northern Bengal. In this remote region, not far from India's border with Bhutan, tea has been the bedrock of the local economy for more than 150 years.

But five years ago this estate was shut down when the owner packed up abruptly leaving unpaid salaries and no alternative employment.

Weeds are now infesting the tea bushes, buildings are abandoned, and estate workers say that they have been slowly dying because they are not eating enough food.

Ben Mascall, a representative of Kong Kong’s railway operator MTR Corp., said that it is still unknown whether the disinfectant is effective against avian flu. According to the article,






Dr. John Trainer from the University of Rochester in the U.S. said that this type of disinfectant could become important if person-to-person transmissible strains of avian flu develop. The article says that transportation authorities in London have indicated that they may consider using the disinfectant if it is found to be effective in Hong Kong.
