place every morning.

leather. They work selflessly to insure the business
of the biggest brand names of the world.
• But these workers are not safe at all.They are totally
exposed to various kinds of threats.
• Nauseating and Vomiting smell of leather is the
least of all.
• A toxic chemical named Chromium is used for
processing the leather. It is banned in most of the
countries for its dangerous effect on the human
body.Continues exposure to Chromium leads to
Cancer.
• Most of the workers are working here from their
childhood and they feel chest pain frequently.
• Industrialists are requesting government to build
some same industrial park.But it seems authorities
have no care for that.
• As a result some of the owners have their own
dump system.
