The crisis in the Darjeeling Hills deepened Tuesday when the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) and other hill parties, including the Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) which is an ally of the ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, adopted an unanimous resolution seeking a separate state of Gorkhaland. Three decades ago, the GNLF under Subhas Ghising had led a violent movement in the Hills for a separate state.
