Singur, Aug 24 Launching the Trinamool Congress' dharna demanding return of 400 acres of land acquired for Tata Motors car project, party chief Mamata Banerjee today said the Singur impasse could be peacefully resolved by utilising an alternate low-lying land instead of the present plant site.
"There is a 500 acre low-lying land near the project site where the ancillary units can come up and the government can decide on it. If the government agrees, we will show it to them," Banerjee told a huge gathering near the Tata Motors plant here.
The Trinamool-run panchayat bodies would be informed about this land and they would be involved in the process, she said, rejecting West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's proposal yesterday that the government was ready with a package and wanted talks on it.
"That is an old proposition. That will not solve the problem," the TC chief told PTI when asked.
The proposed land was lying with CPI(M)-backed promoters, she claimed.
However, if the land was not used for the vendor park, the party-controlled panchayat would not allow construction of multi-storey buildings there, she warned.
Mamata repeatedly appealed to party workers to peacefully conduct the dharna and said her party did not want the Tatas to leave, but to restrict its small car factory at Singur to 600 acre.
She said that in their letter to her the Tatas had stated that they required 600 acre for the small car project. "Please don't change your stand every day
