Increase in yarn prices likely to emerge as a political issue during elections Tiruppur North, consisting of panchayat unions and some of the wards of Tiruppur Corporation, has a mix of industrial and agricultural activities.
The AIADMK won here in 2011 and 2016. Launch of the Athikadavu-Avinashi scheme and waiver of farm loans are positive measures for the farmers, says Sampath, a farmer from Thoravulur.
“The ground water level in the villages has gone down to 1,500 feet. Earlier, even turmeric was cultivated in our area. Now, it is mostly onions, bananas and maize. There are a few villages that have absolutely no industrial activity though the panchayats are close to Tiruppur,” he says.
