The deadlock following the farmers' agitation against Tata Motors' Nano small car project in Sigur was resolved late Sunday night as the West Bengal government agreed to form a committee to look into the demand and the Opposition Trinamool Congress suspended its campaign against it.
End to Singur issue runs into problem
Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi, who mediated the talks between the Left Front government and the Trinamool, told reporters after several rounds of talks and some twists that the imbroglio had been resolved.
The state government would form a committee within a week to look into the affected farmers' demands and till then the construction of the ancillary units - the bone of contention – would be on hold, said Gandhi, with Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Trinamool leader Mamata Banerjee at his side.

Mamata said her party would suspend the agitation at the Tata Motors plant in Singur, about 40 km from here.
The government had taken a decision to provide land to the affected farmers, Gandhi said.
