Tata threatens to make the world

The Ministry of Agriculture has devised an ingenious indigenous contraption, somewhat similar to a police siren in its function, to prevent wild animals from attacking farmer's fields at night.

With unauthorised expansion already consuming more than 50 per cent of the total area under the Nayagaon Nagar Panchayat, the Punjab government has not found any plot available for a city centre in Nayagaon.

The draft Master Plan of Nayagaon-2021 proposes only a district centre as a greenfield project.

Though spatial planning of Nayagaon is constrained by many factors, which none of the new towns in Chandigarh's periphery have faced so far, the Department of Local Government has felt the need for a planned future growth and development of Nayagaon.

The federal government has launched an innovative programme costing Rs 216.084 million for the sustainable development of vast plans of wastelands of Fata through appropriate technologies and practices of dry land horticulture.

The stage is set for a showdown in Singur with Mamata Banerjee followers who have laid siege around the Nano plant announcing they won't allow any employee to enter the factory from Friday.

The announcement came from Naxalite leader Purnendu Bose, now one of the partners of the Krishi Jami Raksha Committee. Bose is among the several leaders of Trinamool allies who have pitched in their lot with her campaign against the Tata plants. He was one of the leaders nominated by Mamata to sit for talks with the government on August 20.
