Sipchu: GJMM observes Black Day

To mark the police firing at Sipchu in the Dooars, where three GJMM supporters were mowed down last year, the Hill-based party observed Black Day today across the Darjeeling Hills. Black flags were unfurled atop the GJMM offices at all corners of the Hills and the party activists put on black bands to express condolence for the departed souls whom they call martyrs for the cause of Gorkhaland. Black flags were also seen fluttering from shops across Darjeeling town. A meeting was also organised in the town where the speakers stressed on maintaining the statehood resolve in the face of adversities. The party expressed dismay over the delay in the proceedings of the CID probe that the Mamata Banerjee government ordered in June last to pinpoint responsibility behind the firing.
