Tata Motors Eager To Resume Work On Nano Project

Though Tata Motors authorities are eagerly awaiting to resume work on the project Tata NanoNano, they still feel that the situation in Singur has not completely calmed down and it may be risky for them to return.. The information was disclosed by the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.

On Wednesday during a press conference, he announced, “They are closely observing the situation and when they feel the situation is normal they will come back.”

On Tuesday, the CM, talks with its chairman Ratan Tata regarding the issue.

The company has not finalized yet as to when to start working again. They have already lost a month due to chaos.

The Chief Minister requested theTrinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to understand the realties and appealed her to end her protest.

“I am ready to discuss issues with her if she responds to my appeal to accept the package of the State government, providing economic rehabilitation and additional monetary compensation to all farmers whose land has been acquired for the project,” reported Mr. Bhattacharjee.

He further said, “I do not want confrontation and I am still confident that if the Opposition responds to our appeal and the situation improves further — no doubt there has been some improvement from what it was ten days ago — the atmosphere at Singur will be conducive to restart work at the plant.”

He even requested the farmers who had not accepted the compensation for their lan, to accept it by 22nd September. On 2nd Septembe, Tata had stopped the work at the site due to the increasing agitation of the people who were against the project..

However Ms. Banerjee, when asked to comments regarding the issue, clearly threatened to resume the agitation. “The stir has not been called off but only suspended. It could be resumed after meeting Governor Gopalakrishna Gandhi on his return to the city later this week”, she reported  

She further added, “We had brought back normality to Singur but after this if the situation there turns bad, it will be the government that will be wholly responsible.”
