Darjeeling: The Darjeeling hills are once again alive with music and dance in a year that was marked by violence and 104 days of shutdown.
Binay Tamang, the chairperson of the board of administrators
to run the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration, inaugurated the
Teesta-Rangeet Tourism Festival at Chowrastha here on Wednesday.
"There was a time when there would be no people at Chowrastha.
I am talking of the situation we faced earlier this year. The hills
were in doldrums and I would like to thank the public for supporting us
and turning things around to make Darjeeling better."
The festival - organised jointly by the GTA and the Bengal government - will be held across the hills over the next five days.
