Need To Set Up A Silk Park In Arani Parliamentary Constituency, Tamil Nadu. on 26 June, 2019
Seventeenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to set up a silk park in Arani Parliamentary Constituency, Tamil Nadu.
DR. M.K. VISHNU PRASAD (ARANI): Sir, I represent the Arani constituency in Tamil Nadu. It consists of mainly farmers and weavers. Due to pollution from dyeing industries, so many units in Tamil Nadu, especially in Tiruppur, have been closed. So many weavers have been affected and a lot of them have to choose an alternative profession. Arani silk is very famous. Normally, Kanchipuram silk is known to everybody. Arani silk is equally famous and is very fine. So, how they bring respect and honour to men and women? Is it not the responsibility of the Government to give respect and honour to these people, the weavers? So, I would request the Government to set up a Silk Park in Arani. The land has been already selected; it is there.
Secondly, in Mailam, which is in my constituency, in the Kootteri Pattu junction, so many accidents are taking place. Already the project report for flyover is ready; the feasibility report is ready for the flyover. So, I would request the hon. Speaker to press the Government to get a flyover in Mailam for our people in Arani Constitutency. Thank you, Sir.
