ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Oct, 2018 ) :The Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) has called upon the authorities concerned that the new rent control law should be promulgated to facilitate the local traders of the Federal capital.
"Finance Minister Asad Umar during his election campaign had assured the traders of Islamabad that after winning the general elections, he would try for promulgation of a new rent control act in Islamabad during the first 100 days of his government," President of ICCI Ahmed Hassan said while talking to a delegation of Traders Welfare Association, F-6 Super Market, Islamabad led by its President Shehzad Shabbir Abbasi.
Ahmed Hassan urged that the Finance Minister should honor his assurance as due to lack of rent law, rent disputes and forced evictions of traders from shops were on the rise.
He said that Super Market was the face of Islamabad and needed urgent attention of CDA for its better development. He said that due to key location, foreign diplomats, foreign visitors and other dignitaries frequently visited this market for shopping.
He stressed upon the CDA to focus on resolving the key issues of Super Market including provision of filtration plant, restoration of all street lights and redesigning of car parking for expansion to facilitate the business activities.
He assured that ICCI would fully cooperate with TWA Super Market in its endeavors aimed at resolving the major issues of traders of the area.
Senior Vice President ICCI Rafat Farid said that most of the issues of traders were related to CDA and ICCI was making efforts to arrange a meeting with Chairman in near future to discuss the issues of business community for finding out their optimum solutions.
Speaking at the occasion, Shehzad Shabbir Abbasi highlighted various issues of their Market. He said that due to the absence of rent control act, traders were feeling insecure and ICCI should cooperate in urgent resolution of this issue.
He said that there was no filtration plant in the market due to which the traders and residents of the area were deprived of clean drinking water.
He said the current car parking was insufficient and urged that CDA should redesign the parking to expand it and arrange its re-carpeting.
He said CDA should restore all street lights in Super Market to curb the incidents of thefts and other problems.
He assured that TWA Super Market would fully support ICCI in its efforts for resolving the key issues of the local business community.
