Tiruppur exporters seek relief from CM after US imposes 50% tariff on Indian goods
TIRUPPUR: Exporters from Tiruppur met Chief Minister M K Stalin on Thursday, seeking urgent relief measures after US President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on goods exported from India to the US from August 27. Knitwear exports from Tiruppur to the US are worth Rs 2,000 crore, with the US accounting for nearly 35% of the district's total exports of Rs 44,747 crore in the last financial year. Tiruppur Exporters' Association (TEA) leaders warned that US buyers have begun asking exporters to hold previously placed orders due to the higher duty, potentially leading to company closures and job losses. They requested a two-year moratorium on MSME exporters' loan repayments, a special emergency credit facility, subsidies to access alternative markets, reinstatement of the 5% interest subvention scheme, separate banking policies for MSMEs, and liberalised import norms for synthetic yarn. TEA joint secretary Kumar Duraiswamy said the tariff will severely impact Tiruppur's 10 lakh workers, 2,500 companies, and 20,000 ancillary units, forcing heavy discounts and shipment delays. The Chief Minister assured that steps would be taken on their demands.

Row erupts after TMC song played at state Independence Day event
Kolkata : 'Khela Hobe' (let's play), the TMC's election anthem was played at the state Independence Day function on Friday, triggering a slugfest. CM Mamata Banerjee, who added lyrics to the Khela Hobe slogan and lent her voice to the track played on Friday, presided over the event. Bengal BJP spokesperson Debjit Sarkar said, 'On a day when PM Modi delivered a strong speech on infiltration, our CM used TMC's political slogan imported from Bangladesh.' (File)(Samir Jana/HT Photo) Bengal BJP spokesperson Debjit Sarkar said, 'On a day when PM Modi delivered a strong speech on infiltration, our CM used TMC's political slogan imported from Bangladesh.' TMC spokesperson Jay Prakash Majumdar hit back, saying if Khela Hobe cannot be used in India because of its Bangladeshi origin then people may use the same logic to raise questions about 'Saare Jahan Se Achha'. At an I-Day event, the CM attacked the Centre, saying: 'Despite India having achieved Independence 78 years ago, the people are not truly independent under the rule of fascist BJP.'
