Hyderabad: Bathukamma sarees would be distributed to women in Telangana from December 19th. The sarees were supposed to have been distributed during Bathukamma festival. But the move by Telangana government was stalled by Election Commission, due to elections. There was a whole lot of criticism by the Congress then that the sarees were brought from Surat. Actually sarees are woven by the weavers of many districts in Telangana and they get some commission from the government because of this. These sarees, in 80 coloours, are ready now it appears.
