Pro-Gorkhaland agitators again went on rampage yesterday in the stir-hit Darjeeling hills, burning down a century-old community hall, a TMC office and a police vehicle. The 100-year-old Raj Rajeswari Hall in the Kurseong sub-division was reduced to cinders when GJM activists set it afire late on Tuesday night.

In fresh violence yesterday, agitators set aflame a Trinamool Congress office in Darjeeling and hurled a petrol bomb at an unoccupied police vehicle at Chowkbazar.
"No one was injured in those incidents. We are trying to identify the culprits," an official said.
The GJM, meanwhile, decided to hold a sit-in to protest against the alleged killing of nine pro-Gorkhaland agitators in police firing. The police maintained that two persons died including a truck driver whose vehicle was set ablaze, since Tuesday.
