Infosys IT Park, New target in West Bengal after Nano !

To the list of projects the West Bengal government has put in deep freeze after its electoral rout, another one got added today: a 600-acre IT park in Rajarhat meant to accommodate Infosys. State IT Minister Debesh Das admitted that 90 acres had been earmarked for Infosys in the IT park which is now on hold as a direct fallout of the Vedic Village Spa and Resort controversy. Infosys, eager to enter the state, was kept waiting as the government couldn’t find suitable land. Last year, the government announced it had identified land for the IT giant contiguous to the Vedic resort. But now there are allegations of forcible land acquisition by owners of the Vedic resort at the behest of the government. “Let us see what the government decides,” said Das. “Right now, we cannot say anything, everything is stalled. The government will not get involved with anything that is illegal.”
