As soon as CDA gets endorsement from the government the authority would begin the procedure of establishing two garment villages reported sources.
Sources say best infrastructure amenities have been proposed which would help put together the readymade garments (RMG) sector a more productive one and draw enormous investments.
CDA campaigned against garment units situated in the residential areas and ordered owners of those units to shift to the industrial zones due to the recent fire at KTS warehouse.
