The National Green Tribunal, an Indian government body, has warned that it will advise that 700 tanneries around Kanpur are closed unless they rectify effluent problems.

Local press has reported that the body analysed effluent being discharged into the River Ganges, and a hearing will be held on January 29 to discuss the next course of action.
