The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has formed a 10-member supporting committee to assist its newly-appointed administrator in conducting activities.
BGMEA Administrator Md Anwar Hossain recently issued this notice.

On October 20, the government dissolved the BGMEA's board of directors and appointed EPB Vice-Chairman Md Anwar Hossain as its administrator.
The Commerce Ministry issued a circular on Sunday under Section 17 of the Trade Organizations Act, 2022.
The circular says the administrator will hold a free and fair election within 120 days and then hand over responsibilities to the newly elected body.
