As a result this sub division produces coarser variety of handloom products such as 'Gamcha' (napkin), Lungi, Saree (40' x 40' ) for rough use. Besides the weavers who have settled in Katwa sub division have mainly migrated from Nwakhali dist of East Pakistan (presently Bangladesh) who were accustomed in weaving these types of handloom products.
On the other hand, weavers of Kalna sub-division are mainly successors of Tangail Dist of former East Pakistan who were famous for their skill and expertise in weaving of finer and up graded quality of handloom saree e.g., Tangail 'Naksapar' Buttik saree with attractive design and colours.
