17th January, 2009 – Darjeeling is now bandh capital

Bands in Darjeeling seems to be endless. Again the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha has called for a 24-hr Darjeeling bandh today after a clash broke out between its supporters and the Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad at Malbazar in Jalpaiguri district.
The GJM called for the bandh in three sub-divisions of Darjeeling Hills blaming the CPI(M). GJM supporters also blocked the roads in the Darjeeling Hills areas and forced closure of schools and business establishments as news of the clash reached the hills.
