Singur/Kolkata (West Bengal), Sept. 26 : Work at an upcoming small car plant at Singur in West Bengal has been badly hit following water logging due to incessant rains.

The halting of operations has left most of workers facing a difficult situation.

"Because of the flooding at the project, work is held up. Contractors say there is no work, and therefore, there is no pay. For the last three days, we have had nothing to eat. What to do?" asks Sahib, a contracted worker.

Singur: Nirupam Sen, West Bengal Minister for Commerce and Industry said that Tata Motors is all set to roll out 2.50 lakh units from the small car project by the coming year (2008), and the production capacity is expected to reach 3.50 lakh in the next few years.

Mr. Sen told a CPM public meeting in Singur, “I hope that next year, the first year of its production, 2.50 lakh small cars will roll out of the Tata Motors project here and the figure will reach 3.50 lakh in the coming years.”
