| West Bengal government will hold talks with Tata Motors on Sunday to discuss ways to resolve the imbroglio at the Nano project in Singur, the state’s chief secretary Amit Kiran Deb told reporters on Friday. This comes after CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee requested Tata group chairman Ratan Tata to restart work at the Singur project and assured him of all help by state administration. “The CM has written to Tata requesting him to restart work at the Nano plant at Singur,” industry minister Nirupam Sen told reporters. In his letter, Bhattacharjee promised to extend all help and cooperation to the Tatas. Sen said the people of Singur and the state wanted the Tata project to happen. On speculation that the Tatas might shift their project from the state, Sen said the company had not yet taken the decision. “There might be some people who were creating problems but that is not the voice of all the people and we want to convey it to the Tatas,” he said. The state cabinet had on Thursday appealed to Tata Motors not to withdraw the project from Singur. The cabinet also urged the opposition parties to accept the rehabilitation package offered to land losers and cooperate in restarting the project. Tatas had suspended work in Singur since August 29 following agitation by the Trinamoolled opposition. |
