Bangladesh commerce and industries minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir has said the government will address deficiencies at the central effluent treatment plant (CETP) at the Savar Tannery Industrial Estate.

Speaking after a meeting with tannery owners and company officials during a visit to the estate, Mr Muktadir said the leather sector in Bangladesh had failed to reach its potential because of the way the industry was relocated from Hazaribagh and because of years of mismanagement.
