Gurugram, Jan 11 (IANS) Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday announced a carpet cluster at Panipat and a hosiery cluster in Sirsa in Haryana.
Irani was addressing the final day session of Pravasi Haryana Divas.
"As a part of our initiative and design, the central government will support a Trade Facility Centre in Panipat.
