Telangana state municipal administration and minister of urban development KT Rama Rao last week said that about 10,000 weavers will get employment in the Sircilla Apparel Park in the next few years, with 80 per cent of the jobs being for women. The state government will initiate steps to set up a yarn depot in Sircilla after discussing the issue with owners of cotton spinning mills, he said. He was laying the foundation stone of Gokaldas Images’ garments manufacturing unit at the apparel park near Peddur. The Gokaldas Images unit would start functioning in the next six months and the remaining units will be established in two to three years, he said.
