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]
