Statesman News Service KURSEONG, Feb. 29: With Mr Subash Ghisingh deciding to resign from the DGHC administrative caretaker's post, the GJMM camp is jubilant. GJMM supporters came out on the streets to rejoice at the news, as Mr Ghisingh's resignation from the DGHC has been one of their two major demands. The other demand ~ the cancellation of the proposal to include the DGHC in the Sixth Schedule, however, hangs in balance. In further major developments today, the GNLF MLA from Darjeeling Mr Pranay Rai has resigned from the GNLF.

The day marked further erosion in the GNLF leadership as 12 of the 20 councillors of Kurseong Municipality joined ranks with the GJMM. Of the 12, eight are from the GNLF and four are Independent councillors. They were greeted with open arms by the GJMM.
