Kakinada: Andhra Pradesh Weavers' United Front (APWUF) secretary Tuthika Srinivasa Viswanath appealed to Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy to help the weavers by announcing welfare measures for them.
East Godavari Weavers United Front activists handed over a letter of demand to Handloom and Textiles Department Assistant Director YS Kripavaram here on Monday.
