PTI | Gangtok | Jul 6:Sikkim has reportedly decided to file a case against the West Bengal government at the Supreme Court, alleging heavy loss of revenue because of the agitation for a separate Gorkhaland.
Sources say the Sikkim government assesses that it has lost around Rs 60,000 crore over the past 32 years because of the statehood protests.
The report emerges a day after Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Chamling strongly condemned recent attacks on Sikkim-registered vehicles at Siliguri in West Bengal.
"The people of Sikkim did not merge the state with the Indian union to become a sandwich between China and Bengal," Mr Chamling said at a public function.
The attacks started after the Chief Minister supported the Gorkhaland demand and also wrote to Home Minister Rajnath Singh calling it a "justified long pending demand" of the people of the Darjeeling hills.
Mr Chamling asked people not to panic over any talk of scarcity of food and essential commodities because of the blockades.

Hill is looking for new Leader..

Gorkha voice writer : Rubendra Bagdash Hill is Crying and Calling your name Songs jumble in my mouth, but heart ain't allowed me to sing, mind tantalize me when I see my frens going club to dance on the floor in same rocking song but my feet stay adamant. Same people with whom I used to hover by gaze me with different looks. Darjeeling is unrest so my heart is, She is bleeding So I'm, So every gorkhas are. All the trauma may be happening just for some selfish political benefits of politicians or may be leader got trapped in their own ambush. It's unknown yet! But now since the people are awake, and aware of faulty leaders. Our soil is calling and craving for some fresh and fearless leader who will not sell soil for a sac of papers i.e money.
