ICCI calls for road, sewerage system repair of Kahuta Industrial Triangle

President of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) Tuesday said Kahuta Industrial Triangle was playing important role in promoting industrial activities in the region, but was facing great problems as CDA was paying no attention to address its major issues.

He said three to four years ago the CDA uprooted the paved roads in Kahuta Industrial Triangle for repair, but the same were not repaired as yet due to which it was difficult for heavy duty vehicles to ply in the area.

He said due to unpaved roads, the industrial area was mostly covered with dust in rush hours while in case of rain, the roads turned into water pools creating difficulties for heavy duty vehicles and the pedestrians.

He said many foreign business delegations used to visit the industrial area for business purpose, but due to dilapidated roads, were feeling discouraged.

He stressed upon the CDA to repair all broken roads in the Kahuta Industrial Triangle on urgent basis.

ICCI Senior Vice President Muhammad Naveed and Vice President Nisar Mirza said the CDA had not developed sewerage system in the said industrial area as yet and the industrialists were working for its development on self-finance basis.

They said the provision of street lights and other facilities was also not satisfactory in the Kahuta Industrial Triangle.

They said the industrial area was making good contribution towards exports, but was devoid of required facilities. They stressed that CDA should undertake development works in the Kahuta Industrial Triangle on war footing basis that would help in facilitating the growth of industrial activities, promoting investment, creating new jobs and improving trade and exports of the region – APP
