Tea workers in the Srimangal-Kamalganj area of Moulvibazar remain frustrated as their living conditions show little improvement despite repeated election promises. With nearly 450,000 voters in the Moulvibazar-4 constituency, candidates from major parties including the Awami League, BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, NCP, and independents are focusing their campaigns on tea garden communities. Workers demand fair wages, land rights, better healthcare, and education for their children. Local residents and union leaders say that despite the community’s historical support for ruling parties, their socio-economic conditions have barely changed. Bangladesh Tea Workers’ Union leaders urge candidates to include workers’ rights in their manifestos. Opposition candidates have pledged concrete steps to improve wages, housing, and employment opportunities if elected. Many tea workers, however, remain skeptical, recalling that previous promises were forgotten after elections. The issue highlights the long-standing neglect of tea workers who contribute significantly to the national economy but continue to live in poverty.
