 tanneries in Kanpur

Kanpur: As many as 225 tanneries in Jajmau are now going to face the pang of disconnection of the power supply in the midst of order received from the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board Headquarters. 

On inspection of the tanneries a number of complaints were received regarding running of the tanneries. This prompted the UPPCB for initiating swift action. 

The district magistrate V V Pant was supposed to form a total of five teams comprising of  ACMs, COs, UPPCB & KESCo officers by 18th of this ongoing month. It has also been said that the City Magistrate will attend to the complaints on daily basis.
