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.”<ref>{{cite web| url = https://in.news.yahoo.com/trinamool-congress-wins-howrah-lok-sabha-bypoll-183000726.html |title = Trinamul Congress wins Howrah Lok Sabha Polls| publisher = Hindustan Times, 5 June 2013 |access-date = 13 June 2014 }}</ref>

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.”<ref>{{cite web| url = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Sheffield-of-India-dying-an-untimely-death/articleshow/336158732.cms |title = Sheffield of India dying an untimely death | publisher = The Times of India, 20 September 2001|access-date = 13 June 2014 }}</ref>
