The Gorkhas have demanded for a separate land with the claim that they should get what was promised to them i.e. a separate land.
The situation is still intense in the region with the widespread shutdown entering the 22nd day today.
Another incident of violence which erupted was in the North 24 Parganas area on Monday.
