Industries, including a large number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), in Tiruppur and Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu will be affected as
the migrant workers in large numbers have left for their hometowns on a
long holiday in view offestivities.
After the Covid-19
pandemic created a big lull in celebrations, this year most of the
labourers and skilled workers from the North Indian states have left for
hometowns.
Coimbatore, which is home to a large number of Medium, Small and Micro industries, is facing acute shortage of hands.
K.M.
Murugan, a small industrialist while speaking to IANS said , "I have
223 workers and more than 90 per cent are from the North Indian states.
Of these most are staying here with their families, but still they have
left for their hometowns to celebrate Diwali with their extended
relatives, including parents, cousins and others."
In Tiruppur also the market was affected as most of the workers have left.
Chandra
kumar.K.L, owner of a small textile unit in Tiruppur while speaking to
IANS said, "Indeed our work is affected but for me my workers are more
important. Let them be refreshed after meeting their families and I have
told them to come back only after ten days. I have already informed my
clients that I will need ten more days for any deadline."
With
Vietnam and Bangladesh vying with each other to encroach into the Indian
textile export market, ten days of leave is a huge gap leading to the
loss of business, but the owners are keen that the workers enjoy their
holidays.
Several industries in Tiruppur had also booked flight
tickets for their employees so that they utilise their leave properly
instead of spending time in trains.
