State govt to allocate land for set up textile park at Madikonda soon

Kakatiya Textile and Weavers Welfare is setting up a textile park at Madikonda in Warangal. The Telangana state government to provide help to weavers has decided to allocate 161 acres of land for the same, said Deputy Chief Minister Kadiam Srihari on Sunday.

The State Government would also give Rs 10 crore to weavers to set up their own powerloom units in the park. This textile park will provide employment to 2,000 people directly and 10,000 indirectly, Kadiam said. He also went to inspect the site for the proposed textile park.

This textile park has nothing to do with the textile industry proposed by the State Government. The integrated textile industry proposed by the State government requires 3000 acres and the land acquisition process was still underway.

So far, in the first phase, 364 handloom workers were sanctioned lands at the proposed site and by December next year, they will be handed over the lands complete with layouts and basic facilities like roads, streets light, drainage.

Kadiam further added that those who migrated in search of work to Surat and others places would be brought back.
