Ghising makes surprise trip to hills

EOIC, Kurseong, 6 October 2013: After remaining in exile for more than two years, Gorkha National Liberation Front supremo Subash Ghising today made a surprise visit to the Darjeeling hills and toured several areas under Kurseong sub-division.

Along with some associates, Ghising entered Tindharay via Sukna this morning from Matigara where he presently resides in a rented apartment. He surveyed the landslide spot NH55 in Tindharay and also paid a visit to the GNLF party office there.

Later, the GNLF chief visited to the Seti Devi Mandir at Giddha Pahar from Ghayabari and offered prayers. He next headed towards Jagdambaha lake in Rohini to finally return to his residence in Matigara.

Commenting on the visit, GNLF spokesperson Daya Dewan said the party president has provided a much-needed impetus to the otherwise declining morale of GNLF supporters. He added Ghising will soon make a permanent comeback once the festive season is over.
