Protests against Tata Motors stop work at Nano plant
Earlier this week, we heard rumblings that workers at the east India plant that is supposed to build the Tata Nano could be besieged by members and supporters of the opposition party in the state. Automotive News Europe now brings us an update and says that the dissatisfaction against Tata Motors resulted in a work stoppage today when thousands of workers stayed home because of protests against the company. Police took 3,600 workers out of the factory yesterday.
The dispute is over 1,000 acres of land that Tata acquired from farmers in the area, and the company has expressed a willingness to move the factory if resistance doesn't die down. The farmers want to keep their land, while the government wants to give the land to Tata to help them build the much-hyped car, famous for being the world's cheapest. A Tata Motors spokesperson issued this very safe statement: "Our workers are not working today. We are assessing the situation as of now."

Suraj uga tao fool sa mehka hai kaun kaun
Ab dekhna ye hai ki jaaga hai kaun kaun
Bahar se apne roop ko phechante hain sab
Bhiter se apne aap ko jaana hai kaun kaun
Laane ke saans yon tao gunhegaar hain sabhi
Yeh dekhiye ke sheher main jinda hai kaun kaun
Apna vajood yon tao samety hue hain hum
Dekho in aandhiyon main bikharta hai kaun kaun
Daavey tao sab ke sun liye ABBI magar ye dekh
Taare gagan se tor kar laata hai kaun kaun
