<h1>State party leader urges prime minister to grant urgent financial relief, tax cuts and loan deferrals for knitwear exporters</h1> A state party leader urged the prime minister to adopt immediate relief measures for a major knitwear-export hub after US tariffs rose from 25% to 50%, alleging severe harm to exporters and dependent workers. The leader requested compensations or export incentives, reduced taxes on cotton yarn, loan rescheduling with at least six months' deferment and interest relief for MSMEs, and other financial interventions to restore competitiveness and address cash-flow stress. The appeal highlights the hub's significant export share and employment role and frames the measures as necessary to avert industry collapse.
