Talking to The Hindu here, he said Rural Industries Minister Pongalur N. Palanisamy and Coimbatore Collector V. Palanikumar were holding talks with the representatives of the associations of textile manufacturers, owners of the job-working powerloom units and the unions to resolve the wage issue, and the next round of talks would be held in two or three days.
