Apparel exporters in Bangladesh have decided to resume operations at all their factories from Wednesday (Aug 7) considering the industry's workload and buyers' lead time situations. They also decided to take responsibility to ensure their factory and workers' safety amid the current law and order situation after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ouster in face of the student movement. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) took the decisions at an emergency meeting at a city hotel on Tuesday (Aug 6) evening.
The BGMEA also sent a message to their members and all buyers stating their decision to open all the factories from Wednesday. Besides, the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) has taken the same decision and sent a message to all their members.
