Muhammad Ahmed Waheed, President Islamabad Chamber of
Commerce and Industry called on Chief Commissioner Islamabad and Chairman
CDA Amir Ali Ahmed and apprised them of the problems faced by business
community. Former ICCI Senior Vice President Khalid Chaudhry was also present
on the occasion.
Speaking at the occasion, CDA Chairman Amir Ali Ahmed said that on the
demand of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry, several development
projects have been included in the forthcoming budget, including development
of various markets, expansion of expressways, Rawal Chowk extension, 10th
Avenue, Industrial Areas and Kahuta Triangle development works. He assured
that efforts would be made to solve the problems of traders and industrialists on
priority basis.
Expressing his views on the occasion, Muhammad Ahmed Waheed, President,
Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that CDA Board had
approved amendments in industrial building by-laws many years ago but the
same have not been implemented and urged that this issue should be resolved
soon. He said that for the last four years, no development work was done in
markets and industrial areas due to which business community was facing many
problems, but hoped that CDA would allocate more funds for development of
markets and industrial areas in its budget.
ICCI President said that the lease renewal issues in I-9, I-10 industrial areas and
commercial centres were pending since long and emphasized that they should be
resolved to facilitate business community. He invited Amir Ali Ahmed to
inaugurate the Facilitation Desk of ICT Administration established at ICCI as Chief
Commissioner, which he accepted. Both sides also discussed many issues of
mutual interest to facilitate business community.
