The traditional weaving industry in Tangail district needs both public and private support in order to recover from the Covid-19 and flood-induced losses, according to local traders.
"Few buyers for the famous Tangail sari are turning up ahead of the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr," said trader Mirza Shakil.
"This has left local sari weavers and traders frustrated with their unsold stocks," he added.
During a recent visit to sari markets in Sadar upazila and Kalihati upazila, it was seen that sales were less than 15 per cent of pre-pandemic levels.
