Loss due to closure
In this meeting, the participants pointed out that with shutting down of textile industries, around 7 million workers will be jobless, 4 million of which are textile workforce. The industry officials reported that high price and delay in import of raw materials results in late completion of export orders. The price of raw materials is even more than exports benefits which result in financial loss for industries as well as economy.
