Sukna rally

Around 500 members of the Gorkha Janmukti Bhutpurba Sainik Morcha from the hills assembled in Sukna today to mark the second anniversary of the police and CRPF lathicharge on a group of former soldiers at Darjeeling More in Siliguri in 2008.

The gathering in Sukna, 70km from Darjeeling, decided that a nine-member delegation of former soldiers would meet chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee in Calcutta this month to know the fate of the report filed by the one-man inquiry committee that had probed the lathicharge.

“Today being the second anniversary of the police atrocities, we wore black badges in protest and held a meeting,” said Suren Pradhan, the secretary of the Siliguri zone of the Sainik Morcha.
