State handlooms development commissioner Shailaja Ramayyar has met with the owners of MACS, SSI and others and has asked them to supply the saris by August 15, according to a media report.
The state government has also placed orders for bedsheets and blankets for hospitals with powerloom weavers in Sircilla, the town which has been in the news for high suicide rates due to unemployment. (RKS)
