Having driven Tata Motors away from Singur, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday unveiled her own industrial plan for the abandoned site in Hooghly district. It won’t be Nano, but Singur could be manufacturing railway wagons.
The Trinamool Congress chief made the announcement at a programme to flag off the Andolan Local train, linking Singur to Howrah, commemorating her agitation that forced the Tatas out. It was exactly an year ago that she had launched the protest. The first ticket was given to the mother of Tapasi Malik, who was allegedly raped and killed by CPM cadres during the resistance.
Mamata said the Railways was prepared to set up industry in the public-private model, provided 600 acres of the 1,000 acres land acquired for the Tata plant was given to the Railways. The remaining, contested 400 acres would be returned to the farmers from whom, she claims, land was forcibly acquired. It was on these grounds that she had protested against the Nano plant.
