Mysore/Mysuru, Feb. 26 -- Over 500 trees absorb intense heat from cocoon boilers

Of the 12 acres of land at the KSIC Filature Factory at T. Narasipur, the State Government has handed over 5.8 acres to the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES) for the construction of a stadium.

While officials maintain that the Filature unit itself has not been closed and that only a portion of the land has been transferred, employees who have worked there for decades told Star of Mysore that the move threatens the very survival of the historic unit.

They said, the Maharaja of Mysore established the Plant with long-term vision and careful planning, unlike the present decision-makers.
