Gorkhaland Autonomous Authority or Gorkhaland State, that is the question Darjeeling: All eyes are focused on the tripartite talks to be held on August 17 in New Delhi regarding the prospect of Darjeeling hill. Recently, the Central Government handed over the proposal to West Bengal Government and Gorkha Jana Mukti Morcha(GJMM) seeking their observations on it and to submit the same within two weeks.

Political settlement still a distant reality for Darjeeling Hill Darjeeling:It appears that the centre government put the pressure on Bengal government and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha in order to end the political stalement in Darjeeling hill, but the situation may not likely turn to the expectation of New Delhi. On 24 July last, West Bengal Government and GJM showed their keenness in setting up an interim hill authority, both agreeing to send within two weeks their final observations on draft proposals drawn up by the Centre. The next round of talks, which will be at the official level, will be on August 17. Following the development, the proposed 40 days strikes in the hill announced by GJM is postponed by now, but GJM President Bimal Gurung warned that if their demands are not met in the proposed interim authority, they will go for indefinite strike and struggle for the demand of separate state Gorkhaland. Meanwhile, other opposition party, including Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha league is observing dharna demanding the arrest of the accused in the murder of Madan Tamang. Meanwhile, the writers' building has invited the representative of hill party at Kolkatta. The Gorkha National Liberation Front leader Subash Ghishing is visiting New Delhi just before the meet in Kolkatta. Since GJM is stick to their demand and West Bengal Government is reluctant to concede their demand, the Centre will not be able to make any concrete decision and there is no ray of any hope for political settlement in the hill. Meanwhile, leaving CPRM, 10 representatives of six political parties joined the talks at Kolkatta. on August ., CPRM criticized the call of West Bengal Government as insignificance and improper and stayed away.
