Islamabad: A delegation of Traders Welfare Association, F-8 Markaz, Islamabad led by its President Sardar Tahir Mehmood visited Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry and highlighted various issues of their market.
Addressing the delegation, Ahmed Hassan Moughal, President, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry said that CDA had approved two multi-storey car parking, each for Jinnah Super Market and F-8 Markaz. He said carping parking in Jinnah Super has been built which was greatly facilitating the traders. However, CDA has not yet taken any measures to build multi-storey car parking in F-8 and stressed that civic body should expedite this matter for the facilitation of traders.
Speaking at the occasion, Sardar Tahir Mehmood President and Ismail Khan General Secretary, TWA F-8 Markaz, Islamabad said that due to district courts in their market, parking was becoming a serious issue and urged that CDA should take measures to build the already approved car parking in the market.
They said that existence of district courts in F-8 was non-conforming use of the commercial center and courts should be shifted to a safe place. They said that carpeting of roads and lane marking in F-8 was badly needed and CDA should pay attention to this issue. They said that CDA has not provided any filtration plant in F-8 Markaz due to which traders were deprived of clean drinking water. However, they said that association was now building two filtration plants in the market on self-finance basis.
Traders demanded that Islamabad should be divided into East and West Zones with arrangement of separate court for each zone that would help in resolving issues.
