ICCI President Atif Ikram said that Sector I-10/1 has been facing water shortage for many months and this issue was highlighted many time, but it was unfortunate that CDA has not taken any remedial measures to ensure regular water supply to industrialists and residents of the area.
He said Islamabad Dry Port was playing an important in promoting exports/imports, business activities in the region and CDA has started expansion work on Dry Port road. However, the pace of work was very slow due to which business community was facing difficulties. He stressed that CDA should complete the work on priority to facilitate business activities.
ICCI president said the business community was playing an important role in the development of local economy and improving basic infrastructure in industrial and commercial areas should be key focus of CDA.
He said due to unsatisfactory condition of roads in industrial areas of Islamabad, easy movement of heavy duty vehicles in these areas has become difficult, “Broken roads in industrial and commercial areas, also needed urgent attention of CDA,” he said.
