ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) Chairman Khalid 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 courts in this business centre was a high security risk due to which business activities were suffering.
The ICCI chairman was talking to a delega
tion of Traders Welfare Associa
tion (TWA), F-8 Markaz, Islamabad that vis
ited ICCI led by TWA President
Sardar Tahir.
Khalid Iqbal Malik said that two terrorist att
acks had already occurred in the districts courts 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 situa
tion was creating security risks as well.
