Killings spark tension in tea belt - Hundreds from tea tribe lay siege to village in Doomdooma
Article from 09 June 2009
The Telegraph in Kolkata
Dibrugarh, June 8: Tension gripped the tea belt of Doomdooma in Upper Assam’s Tinsukia district following the murder of two persons belong to the tea community late last night.
Police said Maghen Moran, a resident of Jutlibari village, murdered two of his neighbours Nareswar Murah and Sarban Tanti and critically injured another, Monoj Murah, after a quarrel broke out between them last night.
Monoj, who was stabbed with a sharp weapon, is battling for his life at the Assam Medical College and Hospital.
As news of the killing spread, hundreds of people from the tea community from neighbouring tea gardens like Daisajan, Doimukhia and Rupai descended on the Moran-dominated village early this morning and laid a siege. Some of them were armed with traditional bows and arrows.
Fearing retaliation, most Moran tribals fled the village to safer locations.
Jutlibari, which has a mixed population of Morans, Ahoms and former tea garden labourers, is about 20km from Doomdooma police station and is surrounded by several tea gardens.
Tinsukia deputy commissioner K.K. Dwivedi and superintendent of police Diganta Bora rushed to the spot this morning and were camping there with a huge contingent of security forces to prevent any outbreak of ethnic violence.
Bora said over telephone the situation was very tense but under control.
“We have deployed additional forces in the vulnerable area and more forces are being called in. We cannot allow this small incident to spill over into anything major,” he added.
Rupesh Gowala, the secretary of the Doomdooma branch of the Asom Chah Mazdoor Sangha, said, “We have appealed for calm but the agitated people are in no mood to listen. They are also not paying any attention to requests from the administration.”
The people demanded arrest and exemplary punishment to the culprit within 12 hours, a compensation of Rs 5 lakh each to the families of the victims, their proper rehabilitation, medical care for the injured and a written assurance from the administration that such incident will not take place in the future.
A delegation of the Moran Students Union, which tried to enter the conflict zone to take stock of the situation, was sent back by the administration to ensure that the situation remains under control.
“We appeal to all sections of society to maintain peace. We assure that the guilty will definitely be punished,” an official from the Tinsukia district administration said.
Bora said a massive manhunt had been launched to nab the culprit and he would be arrested soon.
“Search teams have been sent in various directions to track the culprit. Law will take its own course. Hence people should not try to take the law into their own hand. We will not be a mute spectator if anybody tries to take the law in his hand,” he added.
The protesters lifted the siege this evening.

The tea is poured
A pale orange colour when poured. Forgot the most important pic of us tasting tea, but it was great. Not as strong as we had thought, and obviously we drank it without milk. Mixing it with anything else would truly be a waste of this champagne of teas.
Thinking of the prices that it goes for, and the size of the packet (from a relative in Paris, who knows someone who works in the tea shop), this must be an expensive packet of tea and we are very lucky to have been sent one.
We believe that the other meaning of FTGFOP is true.
Far Too Good For Ordinary People!
Tea Leaves - FTGFOP
In the flesh the tea leaves lived up to the pics on the web. Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe
We try the tea!
After probably two years in the cupboard, we finally tried some jutlibari tea. Unfortunately it was over a year too late for my Dad - that last Christmas he was very ill and I had flu. So a few weeks ago I decided the time was right. We found the packet out of the cupboard and put on the kettle. We also had to locate a tea pot and tea strainer - all very traditional.
We were all nervous that it would not live up to expectations, despite great reviews from German, Japanese and French web sites as well as reports from the tea auctions. But would we really like it, who normally drink PG, Tetley and Twinings.

Reason for the music track title
I received a response to an email recently. I had emailed the site where the jutlibari track was listed
The edited response is below.
jutlibari is one of the titles of a duo cd with the sax player frank paul schubert:
http://www.leicom.de/konnex/assets/s2dmain.htm?http://www.leicom.de/konnex/konnex/cd/schubertfrankpaulantonisanissegos.htm
the title came up because we used to perform in a tea shop, that had tea from all over the world,
mainly from asia.
so we decided to name all the free improvised tracks with names of various tea brands.
we chose the best sounding names, among which is jutlibari.
funny and interesting to receive a mail from you about it.
now i know more about jutlibari.
thanks for contacting me, and maybe you might be interested to hear also the track one day.
I have not yet contacted them to hear the track!

A bag of jutlibari tea
After much research on my part and exchange of emails with both Canada and France, of which the former would have loved to sell me some, and the latter could not, a relative finally acquired this bag of tea direct from Gillanders. They had previously visited the shop in Paris, but baulked at the price. So truly this tea is like gold dust!
