Dhaka-- (UNB) - Parliamentary Standing Committee on Jute Ministry has asked the authorities concerned to take effective measures so that jute growers can receive their jute prices at the shortest possible time from jute purchasing centres.

Matters relating to availability of jute, the amount of arrears of jute purchasing centers and their fund allocation also came up in the meeting for discussion.

Committee members State Minister for Jute AK Faezul Haq, Dr SM Mokhlesur Rahman, Sharif Khasruzzaman, Jalaluddin Talukder, Mujibar Rahman, Dr Salek Chowdhury and Adv Goutam Chakrawarty, among others, attended the meeting.
