SILIGURI, Nov. 7: The Intuc Darjeeling district committee has demanded for the intervention of Governor, Mr Gopalkrishna Gandhi, to resolve the ongoing crisis in the Darjeeling Hills.
Sending a memorandum to Mr Gandhi through the additional district magistrate (ADM) Siliguri this afternoon, the Congress’ trade union held the Left Front government of the state responsible for the Darjeeling imbroglio and urged the governor to intervene in the dispute, which is ‘taking a toll on the peace, harmony and prosperity of the region'.
“The LF government, particularly the CPI-M is responsible for the touble in Darjeeling. At a time when the state administration has proven to be a complete failure in handling the situation in Darjeeling, the governor during his last visit to Darjeeling was successful in mitigating the agitation, even if it is temporarily.
Hence, we urged the governor to actively intervene in the matter and help resolve the dispute amicably,” the Intuc district president, Mr Aloke Chakrovorty said after serving the memorandum to the ADM.
Earlier in the day, the Intuc brought out a rally in Siliguri stressing on a harmonious relation between the Hills and the plains in view of the ongoing ‘Gorkhaland’ agitation in the Darjeeling Hills.
The rally commenced from the Sukna railway station located in the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) area at a distance of about 12 km from Siliguri and congregated at Court More in the town.
The rally drew a sizeable number of participants putting aside a ‘boycott’ announced by the district Congress president, Mr Shanklar Malakar. Prominent Congress faces like Jalpaiguri Municipality chairman Mr Mohan Basu, Siliguri ward councilor Mr Sushil Roy, Mr Narayan Ghosh, Md Abbas (Seva Dal), Md Mumtaz Hussain (Minority Congress) and others took part in the rally.
