Kalimpong September 22, 2015:
The citizens of Kalimpong who
rallied the town shouting slogans of Gorkhaland few years ago now decide
to swim and sink with the independent MLA, H.B Chettri. The town was
filled with curiosity when people saw posters that were stuck in
different places of the town written in public’s voice.
This is the first posters that were stuck with the citizen’s interest
after the MLA gave weight to his ‘district aspiration’ after quitting
from the party (read GJM). The poster that was stuck in Dambar Chowk
reads as ‘Kalimpong: We want Kalimpong as a district, don’t be afraid
H.B Chettri, public are with you’
Interestingly, there is no eye-witness of the one who pasted the
attention-grabbing posters here but an interesting conclusion that pops
out is, half of the population of Kalimpong supports Chettri’s demand of
a separate district.
Geographically, the total area of Kalimpong is 1056 square kilometers
which makes Kalimpong the largest sub-division however the total area of
the district is 3149 square kilometers. In the other hand the total
number of voters in Kalimpong reaches nearly 183863 (according to
records of 2014 election.)
Dr. Chettri in his last press conference in Kalimpong briefly said that
the Chief Minister is positive about the district demand, if granted
Kalimpong will be the 21st district of West Bengal.Tags: LOCAL
