The session was also informed that though there is no discrimination in the policy regarding availability of the facility, the non-readymade garment sectors were not getting equal treatment in regular practices.

The observations and recommendations came at a session on the second day of the SANEM annual economists’ conference (SAEC) 2020 in the city.
