VIOLENCE RETURNS TO DARJEELING

Darjeeling/Kolkata, June 27: After an incident-free week, violence returned to the Darjeeling hills with GJM supporters allegedly targeting the house of the chairman of a development board in Kalimpong district and burning copies of the GTA accord. Hundreds of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha activists held a demonstration and burnt copies of the Gorkha Territorial Administration accord at Chowkbazar in Darjeeling on Tuesday, the 13th day of the indefinite shutdown.

Some shirtless GJM workers during the demonstration broke tubelights on their back leading to injuries.

Activists of the Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the GJM, threatened to commit self-immolation. — PTI
