A group of farmers in Uttarakhand’s Pantnagar area, under the banner of ‘Kisan Kisani Abhiyan’, had taken up cudgels against the state government’s purported plan to allot more land to the company with its leader Hanif Gandhi threatening an agitation. Reacting to the reports of agitation, Tata Motors today stated that the Uttarakhand government had given its own 1,000 acre real estate to the company, on which it has already set up manufacturing facilities along with that of vendors.

“The government had agreed to offer 1,100 acre of land in the area, of which the company has already set up a mother plant and vendor park on 1,000 acres. The government is yet to give the rest 100 acre for setting up residential colonies”, a Tata spokesperson said. He said that since no part of the land for the existing facilities, from where it’s rolling out commercial vehicle Ace, has come from the farmers and hence there is no ground for any agitation. On whether the company had decided to shift the Nano project from West Bengal to Uttarakhand, he said that the company had earlier said in a statement that it could explore options at other existing facilities.
