Intensifying their agitation for Gorkhaland, GorkhaJanmuktiMorcha (GJM) activists yesterday held demonstrations and burnt copies of the GTA accord in the hills. Supporters have reportedly targeted the house of the chairman of a development board in Kalimpong.

All the 45 elected members of GTA who belonged to GJM had resigned last week. The Centre, the state government and GJM had signed the GTA in 2011.

GTA had three hill subdivisions Darjeeling, Kurseong and Mirik and some areas of Siliguri subdivision of Darjeeling district and the whole of Kalimpong district under its authority.

Meanwhile, GJM YuvaMorcha state president PrakashGurung asked the Centre to initiate steps for creation of a separate state of Gorkhaland.
