Dimapur, April 12 (EMN): The advisor for Industries & Commerce Imnatiba has appealed to the central government to address issues concerning Aadhaar and schemes in the handloom sector for Nagaland.

Further, he sought redress for what was stated to be “the irregular mode of fund release of the provided ministerial schemes already in the pipeline” which have been held up “due to which a lot of investment and channelizing is at stake.”
Likewise, the advisor was stated to have requested the minister to look into the handloom and handicraft sector in Nagaland ‘as it has always been a very important lifeline to the state and its artisans in particular.’
Irani is stated to have “anticipated very well to the prayers and suggestions” placed by the advisor. She “eagerly committed to look into the subject at the earliest possible,” the updates informed.
