After violence on Thursday and a 12-hour shutdown on Friday, things in Darjeeling are yet to take a turn for the better. Gorkha Janmukti Morcha on Saturday called for an indefinite shutdown of all government offices in the hills from Monday, including the office of the district's police chief and collector. Morcha chief Bimal Gurung also wrote to the Union Home Minister demanding a separate state: Gorkhaland.
