Tata Motors and the West Bengal government have created a Special Economic Zone at Singur, and has evicted farmers from their land to build these cars. Protests have seen people beaten and shot. What do we in the permaculture movement support! Land rights are more important than any technology.

 

This is happening all over India – Tata Motors were offered non-agricultural land to build their factory and turned it down. There are plenty of wastelands to build factories on but they wanted the rich fertile land – why? In the past companies have used these special economic zones to acquire land from state governments and then sold them on at a tidy profit… because of the protests at Singur they will probably build the factory in this case though… .

 

The farmers lost their last legal option in January - the High Court Verdict is reported here http://sanhati.com/news/631/ but they are still not giving up.

 

In solidarity for all the people in the world that simply want to live a sustainable life on a little bit of land, Linda

Does any one have verification information that the exhaust is in fact clean air?

Tata Motors of India has signed on to invest in and manufacture the air cars:
