Now, Gorkha agitators to start fast
Darjeeling: Has the Centre's decision to grant a separate state of Telangana opened a Pandora's Box?

Inspired by the events unfolding in Telangana, Gorkha Janmukti Morcha supporters have announced they will  begin a fast unto death on Friday in  Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong, Siliguri and Terai. Twenty one people at each spot will participate in the hunger strike.

The party has also called a bandh in the hills of Darjeeling and Terai on the 14th of this month.

The 11-day hunger strike of K Chandrasekhar Rao, chief of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) is credited with being one of the main reasons for the Centre's decision to okay a Telangana state.
