Coir-making units in Uddanam region face shutdown amid shortage of raw material
The New Indian Express Vishakapatnam
|May 08, 2025
THE Uddanam region, renowned for its coconut crop and coir-making units, is witnessing a sharp decline in its coir industry.
Once bustling with around 20 units in areas like Ichchapuram, Kaviti, Kanchili, and Sompeta mandals, the number has dwindled to just four. The primary reason: a severe shortage of quality raw materials locally. As a result, coir units now source materials from distant places, paying over ₹9,000 per lorry load.

How Distance Reveals What Proximity Conceals
Last week, I interviewed Tuva Atasever, a Turkish astronaut, as part of my PhD research at Oxford. While Atasever detailed the rigorous selection and training, his tone shifted when he recalled crossing the Kármán line. He spoke with fond nostalgia about floating in microgravity, describing it as a meditative and spiritually exhilarating experience.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI TROUNCES TRUMPISM
Democratic sweeps in other key races, exposes the fragility of Trump's grip. It's a national referendum on the man's corrosive legacy. Voters in the nation's largest city, a microcosm of America's diversity, rejected Trump's exclusionary toolkit with visceral force. Mamdani turned the race into a personal battleground of identities, where heritage became both shield and sword. However, this very emphasis on leftist ideals could exacerbate national divisions. Mamdani's policies threaten to weaken the fight against illegal immigration and balloon expenditures on social measures, potentially straining the city's and the country's resources at a time when prudence is paramount.
