Tirupur Exporters' Association has appealed for immediate intervention to settle the lorry strike as it has started to impact the movement of goods adversely, the association president, Raja M Shanmugham, has said.
“Exporting units in Tirupur are unable to transport the finished garments for shipment either through the sea ports of Tuticorin, Chennai or Kochi or airports such as Chennai, Bengaluru and Kochi.''
"Buyers do not tolerate supply delay and this is a very season-conscious, design-driven business. And we are competing with countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Vietnam, who are in an advantageous position, while we are struggling to sustain in business here.''
"Stoppage of vehicle movement from the garment unit to outside job working units like knitting, dyeing, compacting,printing, embroidery, checking, ironing and packing would affect production and these job working units will not be in a position to provide work to the employees,'' Shanmugham said and appealed to the Lorry Owners’ Association to exempt the transport of export goods as also movement of goods.
