Manmohan SinghPrime Minister Manmohan Singh has said a lasting solution would be found for the Tirupur knitwear industry, in trouble due to a court-ordered closure of all dyeing units for polluting the water sources in the region.

The industry has said the only permanent solution to solve the dye effluent problem is discharge of treated matter into the sea, a project needing Rs 1,000 crore.
