Title : Need to open branches of nationalised banks at Vedasenthur, Kangayam and Kallimandiyam in Palani Parliamentary Constitutency, Tamil Nadu.
MR. DEPUTY-SPEAKER: Shri Kharventhan, in future, whenever you like to speak, first you have to go to your seat.
SHRI S.K. KHARVENTHAN (PALANI): In my Palani parliamentary constituency, Vedasenthur in Vedasenthur Taluk, Kangayam in Kangayam Taluk and Kallimandiyam in Oddanchatram Taluk are all very important business centres. Vedasenthur is having nearly 30 spinning mills and a number of textile units. It is on the National Highway No. 7 between Karur and Dindigul. But unfortunately, there is no nationalised bank in Vedasenthur town. The people of the area want to have a branch of Canara Bank or any other nationalised bank in Vedasenthur.
Kangayam in Erode district is one of the famous centres for butter, ghee and textiles. Nearly 30 butter and ghee industries are functioning here. Hundreds of handloom textiles are also functioning here. The people of the region also want to have the facility of Canara Bank branch or any other nationalised bank.
Kallimandiyam is also one of the biggest centres in Oddanchatram Taluk. Kallimandiyam is famous for butter, ghee and financial institutions. Buffaloes and other cattle are transported from here to various parts of the country. Vegetables and food grains are also transported to northern India from here only. The business people of the region want to have a nationalised bank branch, particularly Canara Bank or any other nationalised bank.
I request the Hon. Finance Minister to direct the bank authorities to open bank branches at Vedasenthur, Kangayam and Kallimandiyam at the earliest.
