Darjeeling gets terrified as it witnesses bomb blasts, vandalisation, protests and wrath of the GJM protesters with the local police. The Queen of Hills, Darjeeling in West Bengal is in a topsy-turvy situation as all it has now is broken pieces of public property, charred remains of government-owned vehicles set on fire by the protesters and a petrified lot of locals and tourists stranded bearing the brunt caused by a few miscreants.

About the Darjeeling Bomb Blasts

The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) supporters led by the GJM President Bimal Gurung who has led the entire protest clashing against the West Bengal government in Darjeeling, is believed to have done the entire scenario due to his lost battle on the grounds of the state. Unleashing an act of violence in the serene hills of Darjeeling wherein public property was vandalised and set ablaze on fire by the protesters is an act of sheer disgust and disappointment.

The ruling party clearly states that “Without having any issue, the protesters are trying to create one by vandalising public property to create fear in the minds of people in Darjeeling.” Thronging the peaceful hills of Darjeeling to unwind themselves, tourists are now paying whopping amounts to cab drivers to make them escape the place.
