Talking to a delegation of local traders that called on him, ICCI Senior Vice President Muhammad Naveed Malik said ever since the election of MCI, the CDA had been ignoring development works in markets, due to which they were giving a dilapidated look.

Naveed Malik said the business community was playing a leading role in the country's economic development as they were promoting business activities, creating new jobs and generating revenue.

He said the MCI, CDA and all other relevant departments should pay urgent attention to resolve the key issues of business community and facilitate the private sector in every possible way so that business activities could boost in the city and local economy could further grow.
