Gorkha Janmukti Morcha withdraws from GTA amid Gorkhaland row

The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) has announced its withdrawal from the 2011 Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) agreement. "The GTA doesn't fulfil the aspirations of the people of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Terai and the Dooars regions," GJM's General Secretary Roshan Giri said. The GTA was signed by the Centre, West Bengal government and GJM in 2011 amid demands for a separate Gorkhaland.
