Gorkha Janmukti Morcha chief Bimal Gurung today retaliated to Mamata Banerjee’s perceived efforts to erode the authority of the GTA Sabha by giving a renewed call for a separate Gorkhaland after a period of at least one year. During her three-day visit to Kalimpong which ended today, Mamata had announced a “mini” chief minister’s office would be set up in Darjeeling and a committee that would comprise the district magistrate and others would be formed to preserve mountain streams in the hills under the 100-day work scheme. The Morcha feels the announcements would lead to “dual administration” in the hills and erode the powers of the GTA. darjeelingtimes/cm-trip-triggers-state-call/
