Darjeeling (West Bengal), Oct 06 (ANI): Services of the toy train in West Bengal’s Darjeeling town, disrupted during the over 100 days long autonomy stir, could resume soon, authorities said on Thursday. Earlier, Gorkha community led a months-long protest demanding that a separate state of ‘Gorkhaland’ be carved out of West Bengal to protect their culture. The famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) was forced to shut operations as protestors damaged tracks of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Men were seen clearing the tracks and repair work of train coaches is also going on in full swing. The Gorkhas’ protest was called off after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s intervention. The authorities are reportedly mulling to resume the train services by October-end.
