89 days after Darjeeling shut down to demand a separate state and protest a bid to allegedly impose Bengali language in the hills, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today met several hill leaders, led by Benoy Tamang of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, for talks that both sides said were positive.

Four days from now, Mamata Banerjee will sit for a second round of talks with political parties from Darjeeling to try and end the deadlock over the indefinite shutdown in the hills that is now 86 days old. But a series of incidents have raised question marks about the entire exercise.
