The GNLF-controlled Darjeeling municipality has decided to stop supplying drinking water and clearing garbage in the town from tomorrow. In Calcutta, home secretary Prasad Ranjan Ray said the situation in the hills was "worrisome' but tourists were safe. "Those feeling unsafe would be brought down to the plains,' he added. Although a lean season for tourism, there would be several hundred tourists in the Darjeeling hills now. The peak period will begin in March. Pema Yolmo, who was elected chairman of Darjeeling municipality by 15 GNLF councillors on Saturday, said: "We will neither clear the garbage nor supply water from tomorrow since our staff weren't allowed to work today.' Government offices were not allowed to function by the Opposition Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, which has called an indefinite shutdown of government establishments. Banks and post offices will be open only twice a week
