South Korea's textile major Youngone will start its operations within six months at Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal, providing employment opportunities to 12,000 people in the region. In a video conference with IT Minister K.T.Rama Rao and Panchayat Raj Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao here on Thursday, Youngone Chairman and CEO Ki-Hak Sung reiterated their plan of making five of their factories functional in next six months and taking up another three later in Phase-II. Mr. Ki-Hak Sung told KTR that "Made in Telangana" textiles would be rolled out from Warangal’s Kakatiya Mega Textile Park across the world. Though the factories were to be operational by early 2021, the COVID19 pandemic delayed the completion of the works, said Mr. Sung, adding that the company would run its operations from Warangal, making it their base for operations in India.
In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
