Singur land not 'formally' sought: Industry minister
The West Bengal government had not sought return of the land at Singur from Tata Motors ‘formally’, said West Bengal commerce and industry minister Nirupam Sen, a day after Ratan Tata said the government had not approached for the land. Speaking on the sidelines of a seminar organized by Assocham in association with the Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Merchants’ Chamber of Commerce, Sen said, though the government had not formally asked for the land, the company had been informed about the Bhel proposal and later the Railways proposal. Sen said, unless the Railways submitted a formal proposal, the government would not ask for the land back. With Sen’s comments, it appears that Singur was once again in limbo, as Railways has made it clear that it would not visit the land as it belonged to Tata Motors.
