Home Minister Rajnath Singh has appealed the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) to withdraw the ongoing bandh in the Darjeeling Hills. He also asked the Union Home Secretary to convene an official level meeting in the Home Ministry within a fortnight to discuss all related issues. <br/><br/>He said, the withdrawal of bandh will help create a conducive atmosphere for allowing normalcy to return to the area, particularly in view of the festive season. <br/><br/>Mr. Singh said, in a democracy, dialogue is the only way out to resolve any problem and solutions can be found through restraint, mutual dialogue and within the legal ambit. <br/><br/>On the call of GJM, an indefinite strike is currently on in the Darjeeling for the over last three months. <br/><br/>Eleven precious lives have been lost so far and several have been injured since the strike.
