Weavers in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are experiencing disappointment as the festival season approaches. Delays in receiving welfare pensions and handloom orders have left them unable to celebrate the festivities.
The state government has not yet provided work through the textiles department. This has reduced employment opportunities for weavers, leading to financial hardship for many families.
Adding to their concerns, the government has also forgone the opportunity to commission clothes for deities. This decision has affected the weavers, depriving them of a source of income.
The current situation is causing distress among weavers who had hoped for steady work and financial security during the festival period. They are now looking to the government for immediate assistance.
