INTUC seeks common management for textile mills

PUDUCHERRY: The Puducherry unit of the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) has urged the government to take steps to bring all textile and spinning mills in the Union Territory under one management to ensure better administration.

The INTUC said in a release here on Wednesday that the unit’s executive committee, which met here on July 12, adopted a resolution urging the government to supply uniforms to school students through these mills so that it would provide some relief to the loss-making units.

The Central union also pleaded with the government to resort to measures to conduct a fresh enumeration of genuine handloom weavers and called for steps to distribute free dhotis and sarees to the people living below-the-poverty-line through the Puducherry State Weavers’ Cooperative Society.

Through another resolution, the executive urged the government to permit the Indian Coffee House to start its branches in venues including Beach Road, railway station and the newly constructed women and child hospital.

The committee decided to hold street-corner meetings in Puducherry to highlight the importance of the India-U.S. nuclear deal. It also urged the government to set up Employees State Insurance Corporation hospitals at Sedarapet, Tirubuvanai and Nettapakkam.
