Bhat further said that the ICCI has been rendering high services for the country’s development and foreign exchange. He said that we are sure that the founder group will be victorious in the coming election on September 21.
Altaf Ahmed Bhat said that CDA and other organizations should also benefit from the opinion and experience of the Chamber of Commerce. He said that Zone V is currently facing problems like gas, low electricity voltage, traffic, water. Moreover, There is no significant major hospital in Zone V except Al Razi Hospital in CBR Town.
While government schools, colleges are also non-existent. We hope that ICCI will play its role in the establishment of government schools, colleges and hospitals and BHUs. Bhat added.
Altaf Ahmad Bhat said through this forum we want to raise the issue of delay in the expressway expansion project with CDA. It is also causing traffic accidents and diseases are spreading around due to dust.
In this way, CDA has demanded crores of rupees from the housing schemes in the form of right of way, which is injustice to the members and societies. We hope that Chairman CDA Captain Usman will personally take notice of this matter and declare it null and void.
On this occasion, Khalid Iqbal Malik, Chairman of the Founder Group of the ICCI, said that the Founder Group has always served the businessmen and industrialists, be it tax matters or new innovations, ICCI has always done its job. We are grateful to Altaf Ahmed Bhat, Muhammad Ali for their group’s unconditional support to Founder Group.
