KOLKATA: The Railway ministry has been asked to arrange transport for tourists from New Jalpaiguri railway station to Kolkata in view of the indefinite bandh enforced by the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) in the Darjeeling hills from Tuesday.
"I have taken up the matter with the Railway ministry to facilitate tourist departure from New Jalpaiguri to Kolkata and other railway stations," Information and Broadcasting Minister P R Dasmunshi said in a statement here.
Dasmunshi, who is also the WBPCC chief, said that the GJM's call for an indefinite bandh in the Darjeeling hills has created a law and order problem, specially for tourists.
He appealed to the hill leaders and political parties to cooperate with the state administration to maintain law and order.
