Thousands protest against leather complex plans in India
07/03/2013
The Hindu Times reported that protesters – worried about pollution the site could cause – threw chilli powder and sand at the officials, and 300 policemen were drafted in to restore order.
If it goes ahead, the Krishnapatnam International Leather Complex will comprise 25 tanning units and 21 leather processing units, able to process 300 tonnes of hides and skins per day.
Officials said they heard representations for and against the project and would present their findings to the government.
