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.
