BALIPARA (ASSAM): In what is set to become a trend, tea companies are taking a relook at some of their idle properties, in order to make them income-generating ventures, while also promoting the cause of the industry and helping local people. The ball will be set rolling with a project jointly being promoted in Assam by McLeod Russel (India) Ltd (MRIL) and River Journeys & Bungalows of India (RJBI). While MRIL has tea gardens in Assam and Dooars, RJBI is the holding company of WG Resorts Ltd., which owns one of the region's oldest resorts near the Kaziranga National Park.
