Textile merchants complain of loss in business

ERODE: Normality was restored in Thalawady and Burgur hill areas and buses, lorries and other vehicles start plying to Karnataka from Monday midnight on ward.

However, Karnataka merchants did not attend the hosiery and textile shandy on Tuesday.

Textile merchants told reporters that following the unrest in Karnataka, especially in Mysore and Bangalore, no wholesale textile buyer arrived in Erode last week.

This week also no business was made to Karnataka by them.

They said totally more than Rs. 10 crore worth of business was affected in 7 days. In addition, about Rs. 70 crore worth of textile goods were not transported to north India, as the lorries have to cross Bangalore en route. Buses and lorries were operated as usual to Mysore, Kollehal and Samrajnagar.

Police pickets are continuing in Hassanure, Timbam and Burgur areas.
