 "There will be no division of Bengal: Mamata Banerjee")
Nagrakata, West Bengal: In a blunt message to the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha demand, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today ruled any division of West Bengal. “There will be no division of Bengal. Darjeeling is not outside West Bengal. Dooars is not outside West Bengal,” Banerjee said while launching the campaign in North Bengal for next year’s panchayat elections.

Banerjee was on the second day of her visit to North Bengal to make an on-the-spot study of the implementation of state government projects. PTI
