Former President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday said that there was a time when textile of Kanpur was famous even abroad. “Even Queen Elizabeth was very fond of towels made here. However, the sad thing is that cloth mills have closed. But I had a conversation with people’s representatives and officers for the closed mills here and have asked them to find some solution,” said the former President while taking part as a chief guest at the centenary year celebrations to mark the completion of 100 years of Kanpur Textiles Committee.
