Someone’s work and someone’s name, something similar is the pain of the bangle makers of Hasayan. Red-green glass bangles symbolizing Suhag are made in Hasayan only. The artisans prepare the bangles by working hard day and night and then they are supplied across the country. But big businessmen of Firozabad get fame. Local bangle makers say that this small scale industry of Hasayan can also flourish if the government helps. Otherwise it will go into oblivion.
If facilities are available then it will be a matter
The people associated with the bangle business of Hasayan demand that the way gas, grants and facilities to train the laborers are being provided in Firozabad, the businessmen and laborers here should also be given the same, so that the bangle industry here also becomes a separate identity. Could There are about 30-32 small bangle making factories in the town. Most of them are not registered.
In the bangle factory, 30-40 artisans feed their families by sweating. Wood is used for cooking bangles in the furnaces. The laborers are falling prey to serious diseases due to the smoke. Here the bangle makers told that they are dependent on Firozabad. After buying the raw material of glass from the traders of Firozabad, they make bangles from it and sell this material to the traders of Firozabad only.

They are forced to run the bangle business by taking raw material from the big traders of Firozabad. In the absence of basic resources, work is done in the bangle factory by burning wood. The state government should pay attention to this business. – Rahis businessman, Mohalla intervention
To operate the bangle factory is still dependent on wood. Due to no financial support, instead of growing, the bangle industry is disappearing. If resources and financial help are available then the industry will flourish. Anwar Ali, businessman
The traders here are forced to sell their goods to the big traders of Firozabad due to lack of resources. If there is availability of designing machines and gas like Firozabad, then the bangle industry here can also walk on the path of progress. Shahid Ali, businessman
In the town, about fifty raw-made factories were operated for making bangles. But now this industry is dying. Like Firozabad, it would be better if resources are made available to the businessmen of the town. Ahmed Khan, businessman
