Piles of scrap leather dumped at Kalunagar of Hazaribagh in the capital yesterday. The tannery waste spreads unbearable stench in the area and clogs canals and the drainage system. The authorities had issued a 72-hour ultimatum, which expired Thursday night, for the tanners to relocate to Savar. However, tanneries in the area were seen working in full swing yesterday as well.
