Indefinite ‘bandh’ called in Darjeeling, tourists forced to leave

The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) supporters on Monday called an indefinite bandh in the state, central government offices and Gorkhaland Territorial Administration. The tourists said that they are facing a lot of problems due to bandh and will have to think twice before coming to Darjeeling again. They added that they were forced to leave the hotel, due to the tense situation. The paramilitary force is patrolling the city to monitor the entire situation. All offices of the state government, central government and Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) will be indefinitely closed today.
