Kolkata, Feb 23 (UNI) The Calcutta Leather Complex (CLC) in Bantala, a shining star of the Bengal Government, is scripting a success story, and a comprehensive one at that – it is attracting investments worth Rs 5,000 crore and at the same time addressing environmental concerns.
This is being achieved by augmenting the capacity of a common effluent treatment plant in order to treat waste water chemically, mechanically and biologically before releasing it in canals, and planting thousands of trees.
Going by a rough government estimate, the biggest leather complex in Asia is set to generate up to three lakh jobs in the next five years.
