Tailors upset over being ignored in CM’s relief package

Mysore/Mysuru: Alleging that Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has ignored them while announcing a Rs.1,610 crore relief package for certain sections of the working class recently, tailors from Bhavasar Kshatriya Community have urged the CM to extend a helping hand to them too.

The community has taken to various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram to vent out its ire against the CM for neglecting the community.

The   Mysuru Bhavasar Kshatriya Tailors Association, while welcoming the relief package for the working class, claimed that tailors who eke out their living by stitching clothes are rendered jobless due to the lockdown and as such the community needed some financial support from the Government. 

Maintaining that most of the tailors are from the unorganised sector, it said that tailors do not know any other vocation or profession and the lockdown has caused them untold hardship. 

The Association has urged the Government to come to the rescue of tailors too by extending the much needed financial support.
