The West Bengal government on Tuesday gave its consent to Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee’s proposal to set up a railway coach factory at the abandoned site of Tata Nano factory in Singur. The state government’s response came on the heels of the railway minister’s recent statement that the Indian Railways was ready to set up a coach factory in Singur jointly with the state government or under a public-private partnership.

Chief Secretary Ashok Mohan Chakraborty told newsmen at Writers Buildings: “On behalf of the state government, I have written to the Railway Board chairman yesterday giving consent to the railway minister’s proposal. We have also sought details of the project from the Railway Board chairman.”
