Darjeeling MP Raju Bista accuses state of neglect
After chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s criticism of Darjeeling MP Raju Bista, the latter hit back with a strong counterattack, responding to her remarks.
There was fresh violence in north Bengal hills on Thursday night, as Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) activists attacked a police-CRPF patrol party, injuring six security personnel in Teesta Valley, and ransacked a police outpost.
Two police vehicles were burnt by the irate GJM supporters, who snatched an SLR as also a nine mm pistol in the Rangli Rangliat police outpost area in Darjeeling district.
Four CRPF troopers and two state police constables were injured in the attack.
