Govt help sought to revive silk industry

Bangladesh Silk Industry Owners' Association (BSIOA) has sought the government cooperation to revive the country's silk industry.

The association leaders urged  the government to provide loan at a minimum interest rate, incentives for traders and set up a silk premise (Resham Chattar) to bring back the lost glory of silk.

BSIOA newly-elected leaders sought the govt help during a meeting with Rajshahi Mayor AHM Khairuzzaman Liton at the mini conference room of the Nagar Bhaban on Sunday.

During the meeting, the mayor ensured all-out cooperation to save the silk industry.
