Gorkha Janmukti Morcha Seeks Dissolution of GTA Amid BGPM Resignations
The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, led by Bimal Gurung, has formally requested West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari to dissolve the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) amid resignations within the GTA Sabha. This follows the resignation of Anit Thapa, BGPM chief and GTA executive, and 12 BGPM members quitting the party, though not all have left the GTA Sabha. The Morcha seeks a new administrative system to ensure stability and foster dialogue for a permanent political solution in the Darjeeling hills, Terai, and Dooars regions.
