Nowhere else in the country is the flip flop between farming, factory and back to farming so dramatically evident than in this land. “The yield from the first crops sown in October 2016 — mustard, lentil, khesari pulse and potato — makes us confident of good prospects in farming. Patches near the spots where factory sheds of the Nano plant stood till October last year are now lush green. Farming resumed in October last year with CM Mamata Banerjee sowing mustard seeds herself. From the first week of February, mustard, lentil and khesari were harvested and the same land is now being used for paddy.
