Sacrificial animal rawhide from capital and surrounding areas are arriving at the capital's posta.
The shopkeepers of the area are buying the rawhide and preserving them with salt. The sellers say, they are not getting the price set by the government.
On the other hand, the traders said, the crisis has arisen because seasonal traders are not buying leather properly.
The raw leather traders' association says that 80-85 lakh pieces of leather may be collected this time.
