Industry land only by consent - Govt to consult Opposition
The Bengal government will look for a "consensus' with the new Opposition-led zilla parishads before going ahead with land acquisition for industry, the state industries minister today said. "There is a new leadership at the district level in East Midnapore and South 24-Parganas (thrown up by the panchayat polls). We will consult them for a consensus before going ahead with the new projects,' Nirupam Sen told reporters. "Meanwhile, we'll go ahead with the projects that already have consensus.'
