Tripura’s Forest and Tribal Welfare Minister Mewal Kumar Jamatia inaugurated the first ever “Water Handloom Hut” in the North East region at Loktak Lake in Imphal, Manipur.
It is a part of the 5 water handloom huts built on phumdis (floating biomass) at Loktak Lake in Bishnupur district.
The water handloom huts were built by the Department of Textiles, Commerce and Industries of the Manipur State.
The huts will improve the socio-economic conditions of the weavers residing in the phumdis at Loktak Lake and build tourism.
