jute sector will regain its past glory soon, as the present
government is working wholeheartedly for development of this
potential sector by adopting some time- befitting and pragmatic steps.
The minister made this statement while exchanging views with managing
directors and deputy managing directors of different banks in the
conference room of the Bangladesh Jute Mills Association (BJMC).
Siddiqui called for coordinated endeavours to promote this sector,
which was destroyed due to negligence of the previous government. He
also emphasised the need for multipurpose uses of the jute side by
side with expanding its export markets to regain its golden past. The
minister said he will be at the BJMC office on Sundays and another
day every week at the Jute Department office to observe and review
the overall situation of the state-run jute mills. Later, the minister
handed over a cheque for Taka 60 lakh to each of the MDs of Sonali,
Rupali, Janata and Agrani banks as loan on behalf of the BJMC.
Textiles and Jute Secretary Md Ashraful Mokbul and BJMC Chairman TD
Mitra were present at the meeting.
