GJM to raise 'volunteer force' in Darjeeling
Kolkata (PTI): Taking a cue from RSS, the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha, demanding a separate state of Gorkhaland, would soon raise a 'volunteer force' to provide 'security' to the outfit's central committee members and tackle 'anti-social activities' in the Darjeeling hills.
"It will be modelled after the Rashtriya Swam Sevak Sangh, with unarmed volunteers trained in social work to be known as Gorkhaland Personnel (GLP). It will not be a parallel police force," GJM Publicity Secretary Binay Tamang said on Thursday from Darjeeling.
He said the main objective was to assist the administration "which does not have adequate forces for traffic control, fire fighting operations and other civil work."
They would also provide security to central committee members and tackle anti-social activities, besides crowd and traffic control during party meetings and rallies and for escorting tourists to safety during picketing, Tamang said.
