Kumbi Phi Idhou Handloom and Handicraft Cooperative Society proprietor Inaoba Nongmaithem honoured elderly women settling in areas under Kumbi Ward No.6 by presenting handloom products on the occasion of National Handloom Day on Saturday.
Speaking at the event, Inaoba noted that Covid-19 pandemic has affected people in different walks of life while production capacity of handloom products dropped significantly in the past couple of years consequently making weavers in rural areas endure severe hardships.
Inaoba said he was honouring the elderly women, who were once weavers in their heydays, as a mark of showing respect to weavers on the occasion National Handloom Day.
