Siliguri, January 7: Mounting pressure on the government for a separate Gorkhaland state, Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM)

has announced a non-cooperation stir in Darjeeling hills beginning from January 14.

"The week-long non-cooperation stir would begin from January 14 during which the party activists would down the shutters and central government offices," GJM president Bimal Gurung said yesterday while addressing a public meeting.
