No ground for agitation in Uttarakhand: Tata Motors

NEW DELHI: Tata Motors on Saturday said the Uttarakhand government had given its own 1,000-acre land to the company and it has set up manufacturing facilities on it.

Reacting to reports that a group of farmers was planning an agitation if more land is given to the company for setting up the Nano car project, facing uncertainty in West Bengal, a Tata Motors spokesperson said: “All our land has come from the government and the plant exists on government land.”

A group of farmers in Uttarakhand’s Pantnagar area, under the banner of ‘Kisan Kisani Abhiyan,’ has taken up cudgels against the State government’s purported plan to allot more land to the company, with its leader Hanif Gandhi threatening an agitation. — PTI
