Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today sought Centre's help in the export of textile products from the state.

He made this request when Union Commerce Minister (Independent Charge) Nirmala Sitharaman called on him here, a release from his office said.

The Union Minister assured the Centre's cooperation to the handloom industry in Telangana, it said.

Rao and Sitharaman were shown 'sarees' and other textile products made in a unique way by some Hyderabad-based craftsmen on the occasion.
