West Bengal CM warns of legal action over Bengal hills shutdown

Terming as ‘Illegal” the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha’s 12-hour shutdown in north Bengal hills, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday warned of “strict legal action” against those participating in it.

She claimed normalcy has been restored in the hills, and minced no words in slamming the GJM, the dominant party in the north Bengal hills, for Thursday’s clashes between its supporters and the police.

She hinted the violence was premeditated.
