Singur continues to spurn Tata Motors

The Singur controversy simply refuses to die down. A group of political activists ransacked the office of the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) in Central Kolkata today.
The WBIDC has been facilitating the land acquisition for Tata Motors' Singur project, by buying the land on behalf of the government. No arrests have been made so far.
This drama unfolded even as Tata Motors announced the selection of 11 trainees - all residents of Singur villages. The group will undergo an extensive six-month training programme, after which it will be eligible for employment in the company's Singur small car project.
Tata motors will select more such groups for training over the coming months.
