The Forum had offered a non-political platform for citizens of Kolkata to protest against the anti-people policies of the state government. The website www.14thmarch.com is a telling account of the experiences of the Forum members in Nandigram and Singur and their perspective on the government policies. The logo has been designed by artist Suvaprasanna and the Forum is planning to start a guest column where eminent personalities can voice their opinions. “It will help spread awareness about these issues. But we will not limit the website to Singur and Nandigram. It will contain information on programmes taken up by the Forum,” said theatre personality Bibhash Chakrabarty.

The “objective” reads: “the West Bengal Government of late has been forcibly acquiring rich arable agricultural green lands in the various parts of the state on the false pretext of industrialisation and development. All of those people who have refused or rejected this heinous scheme of the government, and have been raising their voices against this undemocratic procedure of land acquisition, are being victimised by administrative and police repression, brutalised by the cadres of the ruling party.”
