Noting that the apparel production is getting hampered largely due to low pressure and irregular supply of gas, Bangladesh’s apex garment makers’ body of BGMEA has called upon the Government to ensure uninterrupted gas supply to apparel factories on an urgent basis.
Media reports claimed this while adding the BGMEA has written letters addressing the State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid and the Prime Minister’s Energy Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury, in this direction.
The garment makers’ body sought uninterrupted gas supply to protect the apparel industry, which is the largest foreign exchange earning sector in Bangladesh.
