During her visit to Coimbatore today, Ms. Smriti Irani, the Honourable Union Minister for Textiles had a problem with her torn chappal and she wasn’t going to throw it off despite requests by many. Enroute to her visit to Isha, she stopped by a cobblers shop near Alandurai to get it repaired. She waited by the side till the man completed the job. You can see her sitting in the photograph above.
