Four tanneries were shut down on Monday for spreading pollution. These include Bengal Tannery Industry in Gholam Gilani Khan Road and Dali Industries at MatheswarTala in Tangra. The closure came following a directive issued by Calcutta High Court a week ago.
Lily, wife of one of the tannery owners at Tangra, felt that she is being victimised by police officials. “My husband is the owner of a tannery, but we have already shifted the factory to Bantala. Here, we stay with our children. On Monday afternoon, police barged in to see if we operate a tannery inside our home. After going upstairs without any notice, they simply decided to cut off the electricity and water supply lines of my house. How will we now stay here with our children?” she wondered.
There was however complete chaos and lack of knowledge among the implementing agencies like police, CESC and Kolkata Municipal Corporation. “It is very difficult to identify the homes where tanneries are still operating,” said an official.
” Together with the officers of the Pollution Control Board, CESC and KMC on the first day, four of the 14 tanneries were shut down. The raids will continue for the next two days,” said a senior police official of South 24-Parganas.
