Kolkata : West Bengal’s Left Front government Tuesday sent a letter to the railway ministry asking it to set up industries on the plot of land abandoned by Tata Motors in Singur.
“We’ve sent our proposal to the railways and we’ve said that if they want to set up industries in Singur, they are welcome,” Chief Secretary Ashok Mohan Chakraborty told reporters here.
He said if the railway ministry wants to set up a coach factory in Singur, the government would cooperate with it.
Earlier, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee had evinced interest to set up a rail coach factory in collaboration with the state government or on a public-private-partnership (PPP) model at the abandoned Nano project site in Hooghly district’s Singur area, about 40 km from Kolkata.
