All the seven assembly segments of No. 25 Howrah (Lok Sabha constituency) are in Howrah district.
-------------------------------------------
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.”
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.”
According to The Hindu, Howrah and Sreerampur constituencies have more than 25% non-Bengali voters with their roots in Rajasthan, Bihar or Uttar Pradesh.
