Good news for nature lovers and tourists! After
more than three months of strike, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR)
resumed operations with a chartered service from New Jalpaiguri to Sukna in the
foothills. The DHR, however, has decided against starting service in the Hills
sector and is waiting till the end of this month to take a call. DHR director
said that as soon as the bandh was withdrawn they started receiving queries
from both domestic and international tourists. He hopes that the service will
continue without any disturbances.
