Hyderabad: Former minister and BRS MLA KT Rama Rao highlighted the support provided by the previous government to the handloom sector in Telangana, expressing concern over the current crisis faced by the textile industry. In the past decade, he noted significant development in the textile industry and the creation of skilled weavers, leading to increased employment opportunities with government assistance. Regrettably, KTR lamented the current predicament faced by the textile industry, particularly noting the indefinite closure of the Sircilla Textile Park.
KTR shared a post on X “The homegrown talented power loom weavers of Siricilla have seen great growth & expansion since the formation of Telangana with the active support of state Government. My request to the Congress Government is to continue and strengthen the sector more as it has the potential to grow and compete with Tirupur cluster in TN. Hearing stories of distress setting in yet again which can be disastrous for the sector.”
