“Both panels had an opportunity to probe into greater details of proposals for a land-based rehabilitation scheme in and around the Singur project site,” Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi, who chaired the talks, said later.
“I am confident that our discussions that were marked by frankness and cordiality will lead to a satisfactory conclusion in our sessions over tomorrow [Sunday] and the day after,” Mr. Gandhi said.
He believed that the parties concerned were seriously engaged in resolving the issue.
With a solution to the problem seemingly within reach, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee will be meeting Mr. Gandhi on Sunday.
There has also reportedly been a request from the Raj Bhavan to Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee for separate talks the same day.
The Trinamool-led agitation outside the project site at Singur demanding that the land allegedly forcibly acquired from farmers be returned to them entered its 14th day.
The discussions between the two panels representing the State government and Ms. Banerjee to arrive at a solution to the Singur crisis began on Friday.
Saturday’s talks revolved around the issue of land and the concessions the State government is willing to concede to the demand of the Trinamool Congress-led Opposition of returning 400 acres of land allegedly forcibly acquired from farmers.
The government side that is working on a sustainable economic rehabilitation package for those who have had to part with their plots, placed at the meeting its proposals on the issue. (END) Source: The Hindu
