The no-confidence motion against the GNLF-led civic board in Kalimpong was easily defeated at a specially convened meeting of the municipality today. All six commissioners in favour of the motion, including two GNLF rebels, chose to stay away from the meet, while 17 voted against it.
Later, municipality chairman C.K. Kumai said this was a victory for the GNLF and its president Subash Ghisingh.
