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. He said that CDA was not approving drawing plan of any building without NOC from its Fire Brigade, but it was unfortunate that no fire extinguishing system was arranged in Itwaar Bazaar despite the fact that thousands of persons were doing business in the said Bazaar.
