This was stated by Ashok Koul, general secretary (organization) BJP while chairing a meeting of All Cells at Party Headquarters in which conveners and co-conveners of all districts were present.

Earlier at the outset of the meeting, Rakesh Mahajan, Incharge All Cells briefed Koul about the detailed working reports of Weaver Cell of J&K. Mahajan said that the local production of blankets, Lois, Kheshs, etc from Bani, Basohli, Samba, Reasi, Srinagar, Kishtwar and Poonch has been badly affected due to lesser avenues for marketing.
“The weavers hailing from J&K have to travel to other states for selling their products thus affecting the supply line and manufacturing of the same”, he said, adding that Weaver Cell of the Party is taking all out measures to help the weavers to get maximum profit of their products.
Praising the Weaver Cell, Ashok Koul asked its members to reach out to all weavers especially the poor and provide maximum help to them by taking their issues with the Cluster, of any society, established by the district administration to ensure their sustenance besides revival of their business.
