30 suicides in one year…
Weavers faced financial difficulties due to the cancellation of Bathukamma sarees. There was no demand for woven cloth and weavers faced financial difficulties as they could not get adequate work. More than 30 people committed suicide within a year. Two months before Sankranti, the Tamil Nadu government ordered Pongal sarees and weavers got some relief. At present, the workers are happy with getting orders for distribution of sarees to women’s groups. All Sirisila textile industries have been requested to give government orders.
