The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha announced a rally for November 26 in Darjeeling, demanding action against alleged corruption in the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration and the Darjeeling Municipality.
The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) has scheduled a public rally on November 26 in Darjeeling, West Bengal, to protest what it describes as systemic corruption within the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) and the Darjeeling Municipality. The party said the demonstration will be held at the central ground near the Darjeeling Mall, inviting supporters and local residents to join the march.
GJM leaders allege that several officials in the GTA and municipal bodies have misappropriated funds earmarked for development projects, leading to stalled infrastructure work and deteriorating public services. The party has submitted a petition to the state government demanding a thorough inquiry and the suspension of the accused officials pending investigation.
State authorities have not yet commented on the specific allegations, but the West Bengal government has previously warned that any public gathering must comply with law and order protocols. Security arrangements are expected to be tightened ahead of the rally to ensure peaceful conduct, while opposition parties have called for a transparent probe into the corruption claims.
