GUWAHATI: In response to various media enquiries and recent press reports, APPL (Amalgamated Plantations Private Limited) reiterated that it remains firmly committed to the State of Assam.

In a press release issued on Saturday, it said, "Majority of our employees, 12,000 of whom are shareholders of our Company, are from Assam.

"We continue to maintain our main operating office in Guwahati and have 21 tea estates/operating units across Assam, employing almost 50,000 people (including seasonal workers). We have invested substantially in two tea processing units at Hattigor and Lattakoojan tea estates and in a Spice processing centre near Misa. In addition to business investments and employment opportunities, we run various community welfare initiatives for livelihood, education, skill development and healthcare, that have positively impacted the lives of about 2.5 lakh people in the state over the last 5 years.

"We are saddened by the recent allegations and their tonality, based on a misplaced understanding of our efforts in the state. We will seek intervention of the appropriate authorities to protect the interests of our employees and facilities in Assam."
