Farmers in West Bengal, India have pushed Tata Motors off agricultural land.
"The West Bengal government acquired 1,000 acres of land for the Nano project in 2006.
"At least 10,000 farmers accepted compensation for their land, but approximately 2,000 of them rejected it as inadequate and demanded 400 acres of land be returned.
"'You cannot run a plant with police protection, you cannot run a plant when bombs are being thrown, you cannot run a plant when workers are being intimidated,' Tata said."
