HUBBALLI: Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangh (KKGSS), Hubballi, the only authorised national flag production unit in the state, had pinned hopes of a revival on Republic Day, but weavers have been left a disappointed lot as sales fell by 60%.
The unit was in the doldrums after the pandemic hit as it suffered a shortage of manpower and raw materials after the nationwide lockdown was imposed. The unit had hoped for a turnaround ahead of Independence Day last year, but that did not happen.
