Will Bengal Chemical Hub Actually Come Up?

Uncertainty prevails over the controversial chemical hub proposal in Bengal, which has landed the CPM-led Bengal government in trouble after the recent Singhur and Nandigram episodes.

Since all opposition parties, including the Congress and Trinamool Congress, and the major partners of the Left Front, namely, the CPI and RSP, had strongly opposed the setting up of the chemical hubs at Nandigram and Haldia, the government now shifted the venue to the nearby Newchar islands on the sea bed in West Midnapore district as a third choice.

But it is yet to be decided if such chemical hub proposal could be executed at Newchar islands before getting the expert opinion of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) and other environmentalists.

An expert team of the GSI, accompanied by the state industries department officials, visited the islands yesterday and made an on-the-spot survey of the areas and studied the nature of the land and other related matters.

Afterwards, the leader of the team G.Mukherjee told mediapersons that it would take at least four-five months to take any decision on the feasibility of the chemical hub proposal at the island.

Meanwhile, the Salim group of industries which had shown its interest in building the chemical hub, by spending over Rs 10,000 crore, had urged Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to take necessary steps in finalising the chemical hub site immediately since they were unwilling to wait for an indefinite period on the proposal, which was already delayed for over a year.

Though the Congress and some other parties which had been opposing the chemical hub plant at Nandigram and Haldia, in principle, agreed that the chemical hub could be built at Nayachar, the Trinamool Congess, the main opposition party, was still opposing it.

TMC leader Mamata Banerjee demanded that first the Singhur and Nandigram problems be resolved. Only then they could come to terms with the state government on the chemical hub proposal at Nayachar.
