Sporadic incidents of violence marked the early hours of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's (GJM) indefinite strike in Darjeeling on Monday, amid massive security arrangements.
The Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) will go on an indefinite strike from Monday demanding a separate state of ‘Gorkhaland’
The GJM has called an indefinite shutdown of government and Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) offices in Darjeeling hills from Monday.
A day after a 12-hour bandh called by the GJM for revival of Gorkhaland agitation, life limped back to normalcy here even the Army continued to patrol Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong towns.
The strike, however, almost stalled life in the hills this morning with most of the shops, eateries and markets remaining closed and vehicles off the roads.
