Readymade garments sector makes great contributions to the economy, but its workers are being neglected in many ways, the discussants said at the roundtable -- Social responsibility towards garments workers -- held in a hotel at the port city on Wednesday.
Chittagong City Corporation mayor Manjur Alam asked representatives of BKMEA and BGMEA who were present to ensure all necessary facilities for the workers.
Discussants also emphasised reducing occupational hazards and ensuring proper working environment.
BKMEA Director Shawkat Osman, BGMEA Joint Secretary Karimullah Chowdhury, Managing Director of German consultancy firm Lift Standards Christian Mitslav, workers' leaders, garments factory owners and representatives of the Department of Environment and the Fire Service and Civil Defence spoke among others at the discussion.
