Explanation

Mysore, Bangalore, Salem, and Amritsar are all major silk weaving and production centers in India. These cities have historical importance in silk industry - Mysore and Bangalore for Mysore silk, Salem for Tamil Nadu silk, and Amritsar for its famous handloom silk. They are not primarily railway junctions, cotton trade hubs, or silk cultivation (which happens in rural areas with mulberry cultivation).
