A parliamentary debate show on jewellery industry is scheduled to be aired by ATN Bangla on Friday.

Debate for Democracy (DFD) organises the show focusing on role of public and private entities to flourish jewellery industry, said a press release on Thursday.

Policy Research Institute (PRI) executive director Dr Ahsan H Mansur was the chief guest while DFD chairman Hassan Ahamed Chowdhury Kiron presided over the session.

Dhaka College team won the debate encountering BGMEA University of Fashion and Technology team with logical words.

A jury panel comprising Dr SM Morshed, journalists Alamgir Hossain and Ruhul Amin Rasel, Kaberi Maitraya and Refayet Ullah Mridha judged the competition.

In his speech, Dr Ahsan H Mansur mentioned that the jewellers are not involved in gold smuggling.

"The customs authority should investigate further to dig out the perpetrators of gold smuggling. An economic zone for gold industry should be established," he said.
