Centre's Cattle Law Death Certificate For Us, Say Kolkata Leather Traders | Read

Marks and Spencer, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Nine West - top global brands are suddenly calling Kolkata in a panic: Will Kolkata's tanneries be able to supply their high-quality leather anymore after the ban on sale of cattle for slaughter at animal markets? Industry insiders say, yes, but only till existing stocks last. Unless rolled back, the ban will mean death of the industry. Kolkata produces 20 per cent of leather in India and 58 per cent finished goods.
