After conducting an urgent meeting with relevant stakeholders, he shared this commitment with reporters during a visit to the jute department in Motijheel, Dhaka.
It is worth noting that there have been reports of contention between India and Bangladesh regarding the origin of the tangail saree.
Media reports in Bangladesh contested the Ministry of Culture of India's reported claim that the renowned tangail saree, considered a symbol of Bangladesh's cultural heritage, originated from West Bengal, India.
Meanwhile, the minister highlighted the need to curb middlemen's exploitation, ensuring fair prices for raw jute and preventing the use of plastic in products mandated for jute packaging under the “Mandatory Jute Packaging Act 2010” even as he emphasised the increased jute production, ongoing market monitoring, and government support for a Smart Bangladesh.
