Voicing deep concern over the country’s ongoing political situation, BGMEA on Thursday urged the political parties to
find out alternatives to hartal and blockade for the sake of national economy.
“The enforcement of hartal on two days and a non-stop blockade for three days out of the last nine days caused a deep frustration among the entrepreneurs,” said a BGMEA statement.
Expressing gratitude to the political parties for keeping the RMG sector outside the purview of hartal, it called for keeping the
imports and exports of the sector out of the ambit of blockade, too.
The BGMEA urged the political parties to especially keep continue the supply chain of the garment sector through the Dhaka-Chittagong and Dhaka-Benapole highways during any political programme.
