As the Gorkha agitation in Darjeeling enters its 51st day, the fight has now moved to the National Capital.

The Quint spoke to protesters at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, where the Gorkha Movement Coordination Committee has been holding demonstrations for the last few days. Over the next few days, the group plans to approach as many political leaders as possible, in a bid to achieve their demands before the Parliament session ends.
