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.

Gurung said GJM would burn copies of the 1988 tripartite accord forming the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) on January 21.

From April one, the people would stop paying all taxes till the achievement of Gorkhaland, he said while unfolding their plan of action.
