Randhawa announced that ICCI and FPCCI representatives would be invited to CDA Board meetings whenever needed to discuss business-related issues. He also highlighted the authority’s ongoing initiatives, including improved water supply, infrastructure development, and an extensive tree plantation drive to enhance Islamabad’s green cover.

ICCI President Nasir Mansoor Qureshi commended the CDA’s leadership for prioritizing business concerns and requested the establishment of a dedicated graveyard in Sector H-13 to accommodate the city’s growing population. He also pledged ICCI’s support in planting 100,000 saplings to contribute to Islamabad’s environmental sustainability.

During the event, CDA emphasized its efforts to modernize tax payments through a cashless system and improve road infrastructure.
