Hyderabad: Union Textile Minister Smriti Irani has assured that there will not be any change in the status of the regional office of the National Handloom Development Corporation Limited (NHDC) in Hyderabad.
The Textile Minister's assurance has come following the intervention of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, G Kishan Reddy.

Besides, changing the status of the office from "regional office" to "branch office". Against this backdrop, the Secundrabad MP put forth cogently to the Secretary, Ministry of Textiles and Chairman NHDC that the move of swapping of the roles of the offices would mean, thus affecting the financial and operational powers of NHDC Hyderabad.
