Siliguri Pro and anti-Gorkhaland forces have called for consecutive bandhs for three days in Darjeeling district following the deadlock over the recent tripartite talks.

Bangla O Bangla Bhasa Bachao Samiti, an anti-Gorkhaland organisation, called a 24-hour bandh on Friday in protest against the government holding talks with the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM).

On the other hand, the GJM has called a 48-hour bandh from Saturday in their proposed territory which includes Siliguri and a part of Dooars.

The party was demanding political-level talks to demarcate the territory of their proposed interim authority.

These bandhs come even as the indefinite office bandh in Darjeeling hills entered the fourth day today.
