Panneerselvam pointed out that no new tanneries could be established in the region due to the pollution problems the existing facilities generated. He said that in the Vaniyambadi region, around 165 tanneries attached to the five common effluent treatment plants and 55 with their own individual treatment plants were discharging treated effluent that was affecting water sources.
