Gorkha rally brings Siliguri to a standstill | A Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJMM) rally disrupted normal
life in Weat Bengal's Siliguri town. GJMM activists came on to the streets and shouted slogans. They claimed the authorities and the Government were not allowing
them to convey their demands, which they said were constitutional and justified.
The rally brought the life to a stand still condition causing huge traffic snarls
in several parts of the city leading to major inconvenience for residents and
tourists. "There is huge inconvenience in coming and going to any place. This
should definitely not be done," said Sujoy Nath, a tourist. Interacting with the
mediapersons on Saturday, Ramesh Gurung, an ex-army service personnel and
member
of the GJMM said the rally is to address to the Government of India that Siliguri
town which is a Gorkha dominated area will have to be a part of the Interim set
up. "So far we have not received any positive signals and indication by the West
Bengal Government as well as from the Central. So, it is our democratic and very
peaceful rally in order to send the message to the government of India and West
Bengal that this area, dominated by Gorkha's will have to be included at any cost,"
said Gurung.
