Overview
The Hindustan Times reported, “Howrah is a 500-year old urban agglomeration on the western bank of the Hooghly River and is best known for unplanned, densely populated habitation, one of the country's biggest rail terminus and a rusty manufacturing sector, especially iron foundries.”[2]
About the foundry industry The Times of India wrote, “Some have already downed their shutters. Others keep open for three days a week. A cut in wages has been accepted by the workers mostly without even a grumble. The foundry industry of Howrah, once known as the Sheffield of India and one of the largest employers in the state, is now gasping for breath.”[3]
According to The Hindu, Howrah and Sreerampur constituencies have more than 25% non-Bengali voters with their roots in Rajasthan, Bihar or Uttar Pradesh.[4]
