CM sees no threat to Haldia Petrochem

CALCUTTA, NOV. 17. The West Bengal Chief Minister, Mr. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, has ruled out any threat to the mega Haldia Petrochemicals even if non-resident Indian investor Purnendu Chatterjee withdraws from the project.

``Nothing will happen to the project if Mr. Chatterjee leaves. However, we don't want him to leave but at the same time we cannot force him to continue,'' Mr. Bhattacharjee told a vernacular daily in a special interview.

He said several big houses had expressed their willingness to participate in the project in case Mr. Chatterjee preferred to withdraw. He, however, did not named the big houses.
