Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's Indefinite Shutdown Begins Today In Darjeeling | Read

The West Bengal government and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha are on collision course in Darjeeling. The GJM has called an indefinite shutdown of all government offices today, in Darjeeling and Kalimpong. "Perhaps it is better for tourists to leave Darjeeling," said GJM chief Bimal Gurung, who on Saturday assured that the protest would not affect tourism. Mr Gurung said only government offices would be shut and schools and colleges would be kept out the protest.
