Chief Minister breaks ice in Hill impasse, meets Bimal Gurung

May 31, 2011
Kolkata, May 31: In her first meeting as Chief Minister with Bimal Gurung, Ms. Mamata Banerjee persuaded the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha president to sit with officials on June 6 to discuss the pressing problems of the Hills. The thorny political issues were deferred to a tripartite meeting at a later date.

"We all love Darjeeling. It is very much a part of West Bengal and will continue to remain so," Mamata announced after an hour-long meeting with Gurung. The GJM President said, "We did not insist on anything. We are impressed with all the plans the Chief Minister has for the Hills."
