Youth Movement in Darjeeling

Darjeeling, April 30

The Darjeeling Students Associa-
tion, Darjeeling has issued the following
letter to about fifty prominent people
of the> District, including M.L.A's, Jour-
nalist, Lawyers and businessmen:

"The student community and the
youth of Darjeeling are very keenly
watching the development in Darjeeling
with regard to the question of reorga-
nisation of the boundaries.

Different political parties of Dar-
jeeling have expressed different and con-
flicting views on this burning question
of the day. Thev have either expressed
such vi-ws or chose to remain silent on
this issue, we presume, with the best
of intentions.

Our Association, the only organisa-
tion of the students in. Darjeeling, has
directed me to request you to kindly
make it a point to address a meeting
of the students and the youth of Dar-
jeeling at your convenient date and
time 'on the question of redistribution
of bouodarits in general" and on 'what
should be the stand of the people of
Darjeeling in this regard, in particular.

I am sure you will be pleased to
give us a time within the next fort-
night. If it will not be convenient for
you to address the meeting personally,
your written views' , on this question is
also welcome. Yours faithfully, D S
Gurung, Secretary. •
