there is a notice in bold, red lettering on the gate of Super Leathers Industry, a tannery in the Nangloi area of Outer Delhi. It says that the factory has been closed following the July 8 , 1996, order by the Supreme Court ( sc ), which directed the closure and relocation of 168 polluting industrial units in Delhi by November 30, 1996. Take a walk around the boundary wall and there is another notice at the back of the premises which announces business as usual: A K Leathers. The name has changed.
