Why all this fuss. Sell the machinery.. Buy a holiday Home...The Government will do the rest.

Easy way out is to pull out the investment and run down the company. Then the Government Politician in the area will come and do the needful.

Better watch out. May be acquired and given to competent authorities from a resurrected National Textile Corporation to manage.
