ISLAMABAD: President Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari, said that a peaceful and secure environment is very important for the promotion of business and investment activities, so the police should work with ICCI to further improve the security situation in the commercial and industrial areas of Islamabad, which will give new confidence to the business community and increase business activities. He said this while talking to DSP Margalla Razaullah Khan and SHO G-9 Markaz Karachi Company during their visit to ICCI.
Ahsan Bakhtawari said that close cooperation between ICCI and Islamabad Police is the need of the hour to control crimes in the markets and the overall city.
He expressed concern over the rising cases of theft of motorcycles and vehicles in the city and said that the Capital Police needs to step up its efforts to prevent these crimes. He said that the vehicle of a respected member of the chamber was stolen from outside the ICCI building in recent days, which is a cause of concern for the business community.
He also expressed concern over the increasing number of illegal foreigners in Islamabad, which is likely to increase crime in the city. He said that the cameras installed in various markets should be linked with the Safe City project and Reconciliation Committees should be activated for better resolution of problems.
DSP Margalla Razaullah Khan speaking on the occasion said that Islamabad Police will try to improve the security arrangements in the city with the support of the Chamber so that the business community feels comfortable in promoting business activities with confidence and peace.
He said that instead of providing cheap and quick justice, Islamabad Police is working on the mission of providing free and quick justice so that the problems of the citizens can be solved in a better way. He expressed his determination that he will play his role to further improve the law and order situation in the business areas in collaboration with ICCI and concerned market associations.
He said that the business community is playing a key role in the development of the economy, so the police will take all possible steps to solve their problems quickly and provide them a safe environment.
