Many shut operations for a day; a large number of them observe a fast
Several garment manufacturers shut operations for a day on Friday demanding measures by the government to control yarn and cotton prices.
A large number of manufacturers also participated in a hunger strike.
President of Tirupur Exporters and Manufacturers Association Muthurathinam said the yarn price was ₹210 a kg in January this year and ₹350 a kg now. “MSME units are unable to fulfil the orders they have taken,” he said.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
