Biman in Nandi damage control

Haldia/Calcutta : CPM state secretary Biman Bose met party leaders in Nandigram-scarred East Midnapore today and asked them to launch a campaign to convince farmers that no land would be acquired "without their consent'. The meeting came against the backdrop of the party central committee's directive to the state leadership to learn the "lesson' from its rural poll setback and redress the farmers' fear of losing their land while pursuing industrialisation.
