With no income, shop owners say they are struggling to pay electricity charges, rent and salary for their staff
The closure of textile shops and showrooms during the complete lockdown period has severely affected business, say shop owners. They have urged the government to permit the functioning of textile shops and showrooms, with fixed timings, in order to revive their businesses. Secretary of Tamil Nadu Textile Merchants Association, Ashraf Tayub, says there are around 4,000 textile shops in Madurai, including small to large size shops. “Madurai is known as the textile hub of South Tamil Nadu,” he noted.More Related News
