She said the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation is setting up Kosalanagaram Industrial Park on about 5,800 acres. She had sent proposals to the Tamil Nadu CM seeking permission to construct an approach road from NH 716 on the Nedumbaram-Arakkonam road to reach the industrial park to accommodate industries from Tamil Nadu and heavy vehicle transport.

She said that there were more than one crore handloom and power loom workers, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.She urged to take steps to meet the world's textile needs by employing textile workers in South India.
