The government ordered shutdown of tanneries in November when the Maha Kumbh Mela had started to ensure that the pilgrims could have a cleaner dip. It’s been five months and yet there is no clarity on why the tanneries are still shut or when they can re-open.While the discharge created by the tanneries is being cited as the official reason, tannery owners blame the government. Thousands have lost their jobs and the industry has suffered losses to the tune of crores of rupees

Each of them gets just 15 litres of water a day to drink, cook and wash. Women suffer the most. A ground report as part of Gaon Connection's Paani Yatra.
