He stressed upon the Chairman CDA and Mayor Islamabad to arrange a judicial inquiry of the recent fire incident in H-9 Itwar Bazaar. He also urged that government should pay due compensation to the fire affected traders of Itwar Bazaar as without government support, it would be difficult for them to revive their businesses.Tahir Abbasi, Senior Vice President, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry said that thousands of persons were doing business in H-9 Itwar Bazaar, but CDA has not arranged their insurance, which was unfortunate. Tahir Abbasi stressed that fire brigade vehicles, Rescue 1122 team and Quick Response Force should be present in the Itwar Bazaar all the time on business day to cope with any fire incident in future that would minimize the losses of traders.
