The textile town of Sircilla, home to 30,352 power looms, is buzzing with activity with thousands of powerloom workers and members of weavers’ mutually aided cooperative societies racing against time to make and deliver lakhs of national flags to their clients from within the State and across the country ahead of Independence Day.
The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign aims to encourage all citizens to hoist the national flag in their homes from August 13 to 15 to mark 75 years of India’s Independence.
Sircilla, popularly known as Solapur of Telangana, famous for its glorious weaving traditions and rich craftsmanship of its weavers, is flooded with orders from more than half a dozen States for production of national flags worth crores.
