Chiru sets up panel to study problems plaguing weavers

HYDERABAD: As a follow-up to his successful interaction with bereaved families of weavers in Sircilla, Prajarajyam party president Chiranjeevi on Monday appointed a committee headed by party's senior adviser K S R Murthy to study the crisis in the handloom sector.

Chiranjeevi told the media that the committee would study the problems being faced by the handloom sector and suggest ways to tackle them.

"I was moved by the pathetic situation of weavers in the region. Instead of just visiting the place to console them, I wanted to work for the resolution of the problems sincerely. The committee under KSR Murty will guide us in working out a solution ," he said. Enthused by the response to his short notice visit to Sircilla, he said he would conduct more tours to problematic areas to understand the problems first hand.
