LAHORE: Pakistan’s garment industry has resumed production following the government’s announcement to also exempt the textile industry from lockdown in view of providing financial relief to the workers.
Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association Regional Chairman Sohail A Sheikh and Chief Coordinator Ijaz Khokhar appreciated the exemption, and pledged to take strict precautionary measures, as directed by the government and health experts to continue operations.
They said that trade and commerce activities were adversely affected by Covid-19, hitting the working class the most. At this critical juncture, the apparel sector direly needed an economy stimulus plan along with relief package by the government to ensure the continuity of the production process.
