Power, water off for Wattar [1]

CPM leaders in the Darjeeling hills continue to be at the receiving end of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's anger, K.B. Wattar from Bijanbari being the latest in the line of fire.

Morcha supporters have been demonstrating in front of Wattar's house since yesterday, demanding that he either quit the CPM, which is against a separate state, or leave the hills.

"The Morcha harps on democracy, but at the same time its members intimidate our leaders in the hills,' Bengal urban development minister and CPM MLA Asok Bhattacharya said here today.
