Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed on Thursday said the government will not extend the staying period of Accord and Alliance after their tenures are expired.
Staying period of Accord, a platform of mainly European retailers, ends Thursday (May 31) while tenure of Alliance, another platform of North American brands, will come to an end in July 2018.

During the meeting, Tofail said the salary, bonus and allowance of RMG workers will be cleared in time as all necessary measures have already been taken in this regard.
