The government directed Home Ministry to sign the agreement with Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) and West Bengal government.
The treaty will form autonomous hill council, the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) and will resolve the long pending demand of separate Gorkhaland state. The GTA is armed with more powers compared to its former avatar, the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council, formed in the late 1980s.
However, the GJM has said that autonomous Gorkhaland administration is the foundation of separate Gorkhaland.
On the other hand, Left Front has expressed dissatisfaction over the content of agreement with the GJM.
