KOLKATA, INDIA: The West Bengal government today informed IT majors Infosys and Wipro that their projects in a proposed township on the outskirts of this metropolis had been scrapped, according to officials.

The proposed IT township at Rajarhat near Salt Lake had become controversial in recent weeks following allegations that land sharks had been involved in acquisition of plots there.

Just about a month back, West Bengal IT Minister Debesh Das had declared that the state government had already acquired land for the Infosys and Wipro complexes in the proposed township.
