Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged RMG manufacturers and exporters to establish new industry only in economic zones.

The premier came up with the call while the new BGMEA board led by its President Siddiqur Rahman made a courtesy call on her at her office in the city on Sunday.

“Though the country’s industrialization has begun in an unplanned way, it should be in a planned manner in future and that should only be in economic zones,” BGMEA Vice-President Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu said, quoting the prime minister. 

BGMEA senior Vice-President Faruque Hassan, Vice-President SM Mannan Kochi and immediate past president Atiqul Islam and other office bearers and board members were present during the meeting.
