ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) Chairman K
halid Iqbal Malik, has called upon the government to shift the district courts from F-8 Markaz, Islamabad to ease the problems of business community as existence of cou
rts in this business centre was a high security risk due to which business activities
were suffering.
The ICCI chairman was talking to a delegation of Traders Welfare Association (TWA), F-8 Markaz, Islamabad that visited ICCI led by TWA Presi
dent Sardar Tahir.
K
halid Iqbal Malik said that two terrorist attacks had already occurred in the districts cou
rts in Islamabad in which dozens of people
were killed including a civil session judge and some lawyers. He said that following the recent attack on a court in Charsadda that left at least 8 people dead, traders and residents of F-8 area
were very much concerned as there was always a security threat due to the presence of a court in their area.
He said the litigants coming to attend district courts
were used
to parking vehicles in front of residential areas in F-8 due to which the residents
were facing great problems and this situation was creating security risks as well.
