The Union Cabinet today approved the creation of autonomous Gorkha Hill Council in the Darjeeling District of West Bengal.
New Delhi, Oct 1 : The Union Cabinet today approved the creation of autonomous Gorkha Hill Council in the Darjeeling District of West Bengal.
"The Union Cabinet today gave its approval for introducing the Bills in Parliament for amending articles 244 and 332 and the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution for creating an autonomous self governing Council called Gorkha Hill Council, Darjeeling (GHC) in the State of West Bengal under the Sixth Schedule," a government release said.
The GHC has four sub-divisions, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and Mirik, under its authority.
The council came into existence after an agreement between the Central Government, the West Bengal Government and the Gorkha National Liberation Front in Kolkata on August 22, 1988.
