Darjeeling, India: June 16, 2008 -  IR Summary/Agencies - Darjeeling with the support of Gorkhaland supporters, carrying arms, is planning to resume an indefinite Bandh from Monday. As per GJM President Bimal Gurung, Darjeeling shall cause a standstill.
 
In the revised program, GJM youths are likely to carry arms to block highways to Sikkim and Dooars. A relay hunger strike is also to start in Siliguri and Dooars.

"Our people will not look at tourism. We will only want Gorkhaland, only want Gorkhaland. After we get Gorkhaland, we will determine how we will control things," Gurung said.

Though the GJM insists the town has adequate food supplies, the question is how long it can hold on after the indefinite strike begins on Monday, especially at a time when many factions in Siliguri, the key entry point of the town, seem geared up to oppose them.
