Darjeeling: Eight suspected Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) activists
were detained for indulging in arson as a GJM-sponsored month-long
shutdown of government offices began on Monday.
According to PTI, the hill station of Darjeeling wore a deserted look as the shutdown began amid tight security.
Darjeeling District Magistrate Joyoshi Dasgupta said, "The situation is peaceful here till now. Everything is normal and people have already started arriving at offices. Attendance in school is also normal. We have taken all precautionary measures to check any untoward incident."
Police pickets, barricades have been placed in front of government offices, Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) offices and RAF and a sizeable number of women police personnel have been deployed, Dasgupta said.
"The administration will act as per the law if anybody is found forcing others as well as establishments to participate in the bandh," the DM said.
She said that the Army was present in the hills as a "backup".
"The administration will also see that no tourist faces trouble because of the bandh. We will not allow anything or anybody to disturb normal life here in the hills," she stated.
