Singur crisis hits Hind. Motors

KOLKATA: The political agitation at Singur near the Tata Motors project site cast its shadow on the operations of another automobile company, that of Hindustan Motors Ltd. The C. K. Birla group company on Wednesday put up a notice at its factory gate shutting down its production for a day. An official spokesperson of the C. K. Birla group (which controls HM) said that the factory had advanced its weekly off from Saturday to Wednesday in view of the congestion on the Durgapur Expressway.
