The Tamil Nadu Handloom Weavers’ Co-operative Society (Co-optex) is looking at ₹ 10 crore worth sales through its six retail outlets in Coimbatore district during the Deepavali season.
District Collector Kranthi Kumar Pati inaugurated special Deepavali sales at the Marutham outlet on Thursday. There are new designs and products in silk and cotton apart from a wide range of home textile items. The outlets have not only saris and dhotis, but also kurtis, churidar material, quilts, and readymade shirts. The sales offering 30 % discount on handloom products will go on till the end of November.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
