Tamil Nadu election 2026: Powerloom weavers caught in a web of woes in Aruppukottai constituency
The DMK candidate, K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran, is facing a challenge in the Aruppukottai Assembly constituency from AIADMK's S. Sethupathy and other candidates like K. Manimaran (Naam Tamilar Katchi), K. Raghupathi (Puthiya Tamilagam) K. Karthik Kumar (TVK) and Dharmaraj (AIPTMMK). The traditional weaving industry in the region is facing issues such as a lack of effluent treatment plants, frequent raids under the Handlooms Act, and limited marketing opportunities. The town's infrastructure has seen improvements with new roads and drainage facilities, but farmers are concerned about shrinking agricultural land due to pollution from nearby towns.
