The announcement came shortly after his announcement of relaxation in bandh for 24 hours from Tuesday. The indefinite bandh which entered the sixth day Monday was called to protest the February eight Sibechu police firing which claimed lives of three Morcha activists.
Large number of Morcha supporters courted arrest protesting against the incident in Darjeeling, Kurseong and in Kalimpong Monday but they were released on bond later. They were demanding CBI enquiry into the Sibechu police firing and creation of a separate state of Gorkhaland comprising of Darjeeling hills, Terai and Doors in Jalpaiguri district.
