Singur Act one of the most progressive laws: Governor [1]

The Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act, 2011, that has been struck down by the Calcutta High Court as “unconstitutional and void” was described by Governor M. K. Narayanan here on Monday as one of the “most progressive items of legislations” passed by the West Bengal Legislative Assembly.

Mr Narayanan was speaking at an event to mark the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Assembly where he referred to the Singur Act as well as the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration, Act, 2011 moved by the Trinamool Congress-led government and passed in the House as the most important legislations.
