<h1>State textile hub warns U.S. tariffs threaten mass layoffs and closures, urges central relief and trade fixes</h1> A state ruling party organ criticized recent U.S. tariffs on textiles as causing substantial economic harm to the western region's textile hub, alleging potential mass layoffs, factory closures and discriminatory federal relief favoring other states' exporters. The organ and local trade unions urge the central government to provide immediate relief via a special fund, duty-drawback adjustments, GST corrections, credit support and new free-trade agreements; the state government has offered limited subsidies. Political opposition frames the issue as discrimination benefiting certain corporate interests and seeks urgent union- and industry-level protections and structural reforms to mitigate job and export losses.
