In West Bengal, the Gorkha Jana Mukti Morcha while intensifying its agitation programme in support of its demand of creation of separate state of Gorkhaland has called indefinite bandh in all the Central and the State Govt. offices functioning in three hill sub-divisions Darjeeling, Kurseong and Kalimpong of Darjeeling district from today. Talking to media persons in Darjeeling last evening Mr. Bendik Gurung said, when members of the Jana Mukti Primary Teachers Organisation, Morcha -Secondary Teachers Organisation and Jana Mukti Karmachari Sangathan are staging fast unto death demanding separate state while other offices are functioning which he said was hindrance in the way of achieving their demand. It is for this reason they were compelled to call indefinite bandh in Govt. offices. Meanwhile, Morcha's fast unto death agitation entered its sixth day today.<br/><br/>
