The three IPS officers are Javed Shamim, Siddhanath Gupta and Ajay Nanda. Banerjee, who came to the secretariat after a three-day tour to Digha to hold administrative meetings there, was briefed about the current situation in the hills, sources said. However, what transpired in the meeting is not known. A GTA office, a railway station and a forest bungalow were torched and several vehicles were damaged in the hills by agitators demanding separate Gorkhaland state the 29th day of the indefinite shutdown today. State Tourism minister Gautam Deb also alleged that GJM activists hurled stones at him when he had gone there to attend a programme.
