Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu has directed to relocate tanneries from Hazaribagh within next 72 hours. He said the tanneries would be shut down unless the factories are shifted within the stipulated time.
The minister also asked BSCIC to send legal notice to the tannery owners by Sunday. If the tanneries fail to shift their factories after 72 hours of the legal notice, the allocation of the plots they have been given in the leather industrial park in Savar will be cancelled, according to the instruction of the minister.
