Shut for 3 months for Kumbh, UP tanneries face losses, cancelled orders -Avaneesh Mishra

At least 2 lakh people are employed in these units. Most are daily-wage workers and migrants, and many have gone back home.

Kanpur:
The roads are empty and the local market closed in Kanpur’s Jajmau locality, with around 130 of its 249 registered tanneries ordered shut due to the Kumbh Mela and the production at others cut by half.

One month into the order, and with 60 more days to go till they can begin operations, after the Kumbh Mela ends, the owners say their overseas orders for leather products are moving to other markets, in primarily Pakistan and Bangladesh.

At least 2 lakh people are employed in these units. Most are daily-wage workers and migrants, and many have gone back home.

“This is happening for the first time. Earlier the government shut the tanneries for three-four days before every holy snaan (bath) during Kumbh. We always followed this as we know Kumbh is related to the religious sentiments of our Hindu brothers. But three months is too much. Jajmau has a turnover of around Rs 7,000 crore yearly and that has been hit,” says Hafizur Rahman, president of the Small Tanners Association and the owner of H Rahman Tanning Industries.

The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board’s (UPPCB) regional officer, Kanpur, Kuldeep Mishra, says the order against the tanneries followed a Jal Nigam report showing that effluents were ending up in the Ganga. The units in Jajmau, Unnao city and Banthar (Unnao) were told to shut down from December 15, 2018, to March 15, 2019.

Of the 402 tanneries registered in Jajmau, only 249 are operational. Rahman says losses over the past few years hit business.
