Murthy against land-grab


BANGALORE, March 21: The Nandigram incident can have an adverse impact on India%u2019s image as a good place for investment, according to Mr Narayana Murthy, chief mentor of Infosys.
He said farm land for setting up special economic zones could not be acquired. Land, he asserted, could not be taken from farmers. Instead, industrialists should directly purchase their requirement. This was the policy earlier under which many industrial houses built their own campuses. This was the best thing to do.
He told reporters on the sidelines of a function here that the Nandigram incident was bound to have its fall-out especially in the Internet era where news travelled fast, even leaving scope for misinterpretation.
Without clearly stating that FDI could be hit in the country, particularly in West Bengal, he said the incident would indeed have %u201Csome repercussions.%u201D n SNS
