This is the second letter from the state chief secretary on the Singur land. Sources said Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Commerce and Industries Minister Nirupam Sen have decided to allow Railway authorities to finalise the coach factory project. Accordingly, the CM has asked the chief secretary to keep close contact with the Railway authority.
On Monday, Chakraborti had written to Khurana that the land is now with Tata Motors and once the government gets a nod from the Railways, it will advise the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation to initiate the process of return of land from the Tatas.
“If the Railway authority visits the site, we will be sure they are serious about their plans,” said a senior official of the government. On Tuesday, the government had agreed to Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee’s proposal for setting the factory in Singur and said it would talk to the Tatas for getting back the land once an announcement is made by the Railways. This was followed by Railways writing back and expressing their readiness to set up the factory there.
