“To restore peace among the people and help out the young generation Darjeeling, we will hold an industrial meeting in Darjeeling in March. IT industry, horticulture, agriculture, tourism, hotel industry can be built here.
“We would request the industrial houses to come here so that many industries can be built here. We will also see how the 1,000 acres of land in Chinchona be used,” Banerjee said.
“There would be another meeting in Kalimpong with all the 15 board members in the region. People from all the villages would also be called in the meeting,” she added.
The Chief Minister also assured that the teachers would be given the pending salary but asked them to conduct some extra classes to make up for the two-three months of the Gorkhaland agitation, when the schools were closed.
