TNN, KOLKATA, June 23, 2012: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said the election to the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) would be held prior to the formation of its board. Making a statement in the state assembly, she pointed out that the delimitation notification has been issued on June 21. The CM's statement comes on the wake of walkouts staged by Left legislators demanding her statement on the issue.
She said a 10-member high powered committee, headed by Justice (Retd) Shyamal Sen, had submitted its report to the government in May, this year. "This report was put up in the state government website and laid on the floor of the assembly on June 19. The GJM has raised some questions on the factual aspects of the report. Thereafter, a fact verification committee was formed," she said.
The three-member panel is headed by Manoj Agarwal. "I would take this opportunity to congratulate Shyamal Sen for the good work they've done. Some may like it, others may not. But in parliamentary democracy, there are some ethics. All voices should be heard," she said.
