Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will talk to the tea workers in different areas of the country through video conference today afternoon (Saturday).
The conference will be live broadcasted to other tea estates in the country, said Sifat Uddin, Upazila Nirbahi Officer in Kamalganj, citing Moulvibazar Deputy Commissioner Mir Nahid Ahsan.
Ahmad Kaikaus, principal secretary to the Prime Minister, had earlier announced that the premier will hold a discussion with tea workers after their daily wage was increased to Tk170 from Tk120 last week, following a 19-day countrywide protest.
Earlier, the Prime Minister held a meeting with the owners of tea gardens last Saturday where she fixed the minimum daily wage of the workers at Tk170.
