The ceremony was held under a large festive tent at the Yunus Textile facilities here before an audience of company officials and well-wishers. Arthur Emmanuel, svp sourcing and retail import development, Wal-Mart, presented the award to Altaf Gul Muhammad, general manager of operations, and Imran Tabba, a Yunus principal.
