- State government, West Bengal
The District Magistrate of East Midnapore issued a notification that the state government would not acquire any land for industry in Nandigram. On 15 March the Chief Minister had told the Assembly that there would be no chemical hub at Nandigram against the will of the people. The Hindu reported that copies were sent to the gram panchayats and political parties, and that the government began shifting two police camps. The NHRC recorded that the blockade continued after the notification. The government later proposed Nayachar island as another site; India Today reported in November 2007 that ecological concerns had ruled it out. [2][4][1][3]
