Central bonded warehouse

I have come to know that a Central Bonded Warehouse is going to be established by the BGMEA. I fully appreciate the idea.

However, being the owner of a garment industry, since the very beginning of the year 1993, I lay the basic concept of the warehouse and the preliminary discussion was held with Mr. Nurul Hoque Sikder at his Motijheel office.

Indeed, gone are those days but the memories are still alive in my mind. Mr. Sikder listened to what I said and urged me to place the idea before the then president of the BGMEA. Accordingly, I submitted a key note paper on the possibility of setting up a central bonded warehouse to the president of the BGMEA. The president appreciated it and told me to proceed with the idea.

The purpose of writing this letter is that I am very happy to learn that such a warehouse is going to be set up, if only because it was my brainchild.
