BGMEA urges home minister to act to prevent highway robbery of RMG goods 

At a meeting with Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Saturday, the Senior Vice President of BGMEA, SM Mannan (Kochi), raised concern about the theft of RMG export goods during transportation. Mannan stressed the need for preventing such theft, as it causes financial losses and tarnishes the reputation of the exporters.

Along with Vice President Md. Nasir Uddin, Mannan requested the Home Minister to increase police patrolling on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway to secure the safe transportation of RMG goods. The BGMEA leaders also suggested making the process of reporting theft incidents easier for RMG exporters.
