News Release Dated 11 October 2017
The general strike in support of ‘Gorkhaland’ that had crippled the Darjeeling region ended on 27 September and normal business and tourist activity is slowly reviving.
It is hoped that the DHR ‘Joy Train’ services between Darjeeling and Ghum will resume by the end of October.
Services on the rest of the route will resume only after the clearance of several landslips/extensive vegetation growth and this will take many more weeks. At present there is no indication as to how long that will be.
