Singur dialogue inconclusive, to resume on Sunday

KOLKATA: The talks to end the Singur imbroglio remained inconclusive for the second day on Saturday with the Trinamool Congress-led opposition and a government panel agreeing to meet again on Sunday.

A press statement issued by Raj Bhavan here after the meeting, presided over by West Bengal Governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi, said that the sides went into greater detail on the prospects of a land-based rehabilitation scheme in and around Singur project site.

"The governor trusts that the discussion will lead to a satisfactory conclusion tomorrow or on Monday," it said.

Emerging from Raj Bhavan, Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee told reporters here that talks will be resumed tomorrow.

Asked whether talks were positive, he replied, "I don't say it is negative."

The progress was conveyed to Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee.
