Meanwhile, work at the Tata Motors project is going on smoothly. About 2000 workers were working in the project. Production of Tata's small car, Nano, would start during the festive season in October, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said in the assembly on Thursday.
Tata Motors Managing Director Ravi Kant had informed him last month that 75 per cent work of the car plant at Singur was complete, Bhattacharjee said. The chief minister rejected the opposition Trinamool Congress' demand for the return of land at Singur to unsatisfied farmers. Villagers, who say the car plant has forced them from their farmland, threw stones at police in the communist-ruled state on Friday and tried to damage a boundary wall of the factory, officials said.
Tata Motors, a unit of Indian conglomerate Tata group, plans to launch the world's cheapest car, the Nano, later this year from its new factory at a 1,000-acre complex in Singur, a cluster of villages near Kolkata, capital of West Bengal.
