Today the elected members will take oath to form Gorkha Teritorrial administration(GTA) at Darjeeling in presence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Central Home Minister Shri Sushil Kr. Shindhe, Hon'ble Governor of West Bengal and other high functioneries of West Bengal Govt. It is the historic day for Darjeeling as well as for West Bengal. After decades of turmoil and violent movements, it is expected that peace will prevail here with lot of development works.
Darjeeling is called 'Queen of hills' but it lost its glory and sheen due to tumultuous situation for a very long time. Its a very beautiful place to visit for its scenic beauty and Kanchanjungha. It has a great heritage and also famous for its toy train which has been declared as world heritage by UNESCO. Also world's highest altitude railway station is situated here at GHUM.
Therefore great expectation and hope have grown and created amongst the hill people and it is certain that its past glory will be regained with the influx of tourists from inside and abroad.
The chief minister Ms Mamata Banerjee must be given credit for her tireless endeavour to bring peace and tranquillity in Darjeeling.
For visiting purpose, West Bengal Tourism Dept. may be contacted.
