GJM president Bimal Gurung has once
again hinted at taking over the top post in the GTA. Addressing a
meeting today at Mahanadi in Kurseong, he said he had sacrificed the GTA
chief’s chair for the sake of statehood and the Gorkha people.
“Considering the general public interest, I may sit on the chief executive’s chair again when the time approaches,” he said.
Notably, while addressing a meeting in
Kalimpong a week ago, Gurung had expressed doubts on whether the
sabhashads would be able to run the GTA without him saying he would
again take the helm of the administrative body if needed.
The GJM chief also promised a number of
development projects for Mahanadi including a Rs4-crore bridge
connecting Jungpana tea estate with Mahanadi. He said a mini bus would
be deployed on the Mahanadi route within a month to make transportation
easier and also come up with an alternative road for the area’s
residents as the existing routes have been damaged by landslides.
Gurung also inspected the landslide affected area at 14th Mile, where the NH55 has been out of operation since June 2010.(EOIC)
