 Demand for Gorkhaland in the hill, Sikkim adversely affected, relaxation of Bandh from 22nd June evening to June 25 morning.

 

Darjeeling: The life of the hill people came to standstill for the sixth days after the call of indefinite strike called by  Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM), demanding the creation of a separate Gorkhaland state under the provision of indian constitution. Owing to Bandh, Sikkim remained totally cut off from the rest of the country. The vehicles of Sikkim standing in the border of West Bengal were not allowed to pass through 31 National Highway from Rangpoo and as a result the people of Sikkim suffered a lot and there was heavy financial loss to the State.

Meanwhile GJM  relaxed its indefinite bandh in the Darjeeling hills for 60 hours beginning on Sunday evening i.e. from June 22 6 p.m. evening  till Wednesday morning or June 25, 6 p.m.

GJM general secretary Roshan Giri while speaking to the media person said that the decision of relaxation was taken in the Central meeting following the
"request from different quarters including ministers and MPs and also considering the overall situation"
They also have decided to send two teams to talk to the West Bengal government as well as the Centre. "The Kolkata-bound team would talk to Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on the various demands", Giri added.

The blockade of the national highway 31A, linking Siliguri to Gangtok, would be lifted during the relaxation period enabling resumption of vital supply of essential commodities to Sikkim, it is learnt from the Publicity Secretary of GJM.

The subconscious mind will not remain idle! If you fail to plant desires in your subconscious mind, it will feed upon the thoughts which reach it as the result of your neglect.
