On the insistence of A Sakthivel, Chairman, AEPC, the Tamil Nadu government recently increased the number of workers in the Tirupur knit wear sector.

As per report, this will enable units to send samples to foreign buyers to attract fresh orders in the coming season. As per report, these units also plan to finish their projects and send them to other countries.

However, the CPM party is opposing this government move as it may lead to spread of COVID infection among workers. It has urged the government to revoke the order.

The Left party has urged the government to not let the guard down at a time when infections are yet to reach a plateau and the Test Positivity Rate continues to be at more than 22 per cent. However, District Collector K Vijayakarthikeyan said that special squads will be constituted to monitor that export units function in adherence to norms.
