The government will hold textile service week from December 06 aiming to flourish the sector.
Facilitating clearance of imported textile machinery, correcting the ownership name, and recommending to the issuance of an import permit are among the services that are to be offered during the upcoming event which will continue until December 15.
Under the move, the Department of Textiles (DoT) under the Ministry of Textiles and Jute (MoTJ) is going to organise the service week at its office in the capital.
The DoT will provide services to the entrepreneurs involved with the sector within 24 hours to 72 hours during the week.
The MoTJ in a statement issued on Thursday requested all the stakeholders in the sector to receive the services during the service week.
A high official of the ministry told the FE that the upcoming service week will help strengthen the country's textile sector.
He said the concerned department of the government is regularly visiting registered textile mills and factories to ensure compliance with an eye to developing the country's textile sector further as well as to increase export.
He said that the ministry is seriously working with the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA), Bangladesh Garment Buying House Association (BGBA) and other stakeholders to achieve the government’s US$ 50 billion export target from the textile sector in 2021.
