Strike in Darjeeling Causes Havoc for Tourists

An estimated 40,000 tourists are stranded in Darjeeling because of a strike called by a group that wants a separate Gorkhaland state. Hotels have asked their guests to leave, but no transport is available out of the region. Unfortunately for those in the region who make a living off tourism, the strike has no end date, causing many to worry they will lose their livelihoods.
