   Does this mean that we can expect GTA with a few months if not weeks?

   I don’t think that it is too easy the territory issue is yet to be settled.

   With the formation of Gorkhaland Territorial Administration, at least the Government has accepted the term ‘Gorkhaland’ hopefully Gorkhaland is not far away.

   I believe GJM has rejected the GTA proposal and has called renewed the deamdn for Gorkhaland

   I think GTA without any additional territory would hopfully be formed soon, but the territory issue won’t get solved so easily…. What can we do, just wait and watch….all are political games&dramas!
