Darjeeling, Feb 11:
Following the death of two Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) supporters in Darjeeling, violation spreaded all around the hills and dooars region in the state. But the GJM members decided to spare the Census work and examinations.
The Census work, which has started in the country from Feb 9, has been exempted by the GJM protesters who are observing an indefinite strike in the Hills.
GJM activists burnt down two trucks in Jalpaiguri district on Friday, Feb 11.
Normal life in North Bengal is being paralised over the indefinite strike called by GJM protesting state and central government. Shops, business establishments and markets were closed while vehicles were off the roads. Tea gardens in the hills were closed.
\"We want a new state of Gorkhaland out of Dareeling district and parts of Jalpaiguri district. Interim Council was never our demand. It was the central government which suggested it during recent tri-partite meetings. But now we want all talks to centre around Gorkhaland,\" asserted GJM spokesperson.
West Bengal Governor M K Narayan claimed, \"It is very much essential to help restore peace in Darjeeling Hills and Dooars area and everybody including political parties should play a role in restoring peace.\"
