Tata Motors has finally decided to
pull out their Nano car plant from Singur, the controversial site in West
Bengal. The company's decision was driven by the heightened level of agitation
and hostility by the opposition parties led by Trinamool Congress chief,
Mamata Banerjee.
There had been considerable agitation
at the project site since end August 2008 and the company's staff, vendors
and contractors had been being intimidated and assaulted.
The company had not yet decided where
it will build the car but there are offers from three to four states.
