A ray of hope!

Tata’s recent submission at SC that they like to make automobile factory at their Nano factory site at Singur which they left for political disturbances seems to be the most welcome news for the state and for the people of Singur in particular.Tata shifted their Nano project to Sananda at Gujarat when it was near-complete and it sent a wrong signal to the industrialists who’re still reluctant to invest in West Bengal. Nor is there any possibility of a big industry coming up in near future in the state.In this context Tata’s offer of opening up a new industry at Singur, may it be the second unit of Nano or anything else, is quite significant. If it comes true, the scenario on industrial front of Bengal would change and the state would be able to live down its anti-industry image. Investments would start pouring in. Certainly people of Singur feel happy at this sudden change of circumstances and find ray hope in Tata’s offer of come-back.It’d dispel the pall of gloom that has overcast the people of Singur after Tata called it quits. Hopefully, the so called unwilling farmers, whose number at present has dwindled to claimants for 42 acres of land only as against 400 acres mentioned earlier, would cease to stick to their demand for return of their land from Tata’s factory project area in the their own interest as well as in the interest of people of Singur at large. The present govt which promised to return 400 acres of land to ‘unwilling farmers’ in their election manifesto would also relent and reconsider their stance to make their sincerest efforts to bring industries to the state a success.
