Cornered after his defeat in the assembly by-poll in Darjeeling in the hands of BJP, GJM leader Binay Tamang got some relief when his demand for 20 per cent bonus for tea workers was accepted by the garden owners on Friday.

Rallies and counter rallies supporting and opposing the indefinite shutdown rocked Darjeeling hills on Satrudat while the CID brought three arrested leaders of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha or GJM from Haryana to Kolkata.

The West Bengal government today announced the formation of Board of Administrators in place of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) for Darjeeling hills and appointed rebel GJM leader Binay Tamang as its chairman.
