ISLAMABAD: The President of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari, and his delegation met with CDA Member Finance Syed Mazhar Hussain Shah to discuss the need for development works in the markets.
The old sewage system in the markets has become inadequate for the current population, causing leaks and bad smells.
Bakhtawari suggested that the CDA lay new sewerage lines in specific areas and gradually replace the old system in other markets.
Other necessary development works include repairing footpaths, constructing parking areas, and restoring street lights.
Bakhtawari proposed forming teams of CDA department directors to visit markets weekly with ICCI and market representatives to address issues.
He also suggested temporarily shifting car showrooms to reduce parking issues until a permanent solution is found.
CDA Member Finance Shah assured the delegation that the directors of all departments would visit the markets weekly after Eid to identify and address issues.
He acknowledged the business community’s role in developing the economy and expressed CDA’s commitment to solving their problems.
The Senior Vice President of ICCI, Faad Waheed, emphasized the need for ICCI and market associations’ involvement in market development works.
Furthermore, Zafar Bakhtawari, Mohammad Ijaz Abbasi, Former ICCI Presidents, and former SVP Khalid Chaudhry highlighted the various issues and called for their prompt resolution.
