Islamabad : Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan, President, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) said that almost 90 percent affairs of business community in Islamabad were related to the CDA and emphasized that the government should include sitting President of ICCI in CDA Board to protect the genuine interests of private sector during the policy making process of the civic body and help resolve key issues of the business community. He urged that CDA should set up a One Window Operation in true spirit in order to facilitate the business community and the citizens of Islamabad in their CDA related day-to-day issues. He said that the business community has to visit various departments of CDA for various services and redress of issues, which consumes a lot of their precious time. However, the availability of one window facility would save them from many troubles as they would get all the required services of CDA from one counter. He said this while addressing a delegation of CDA Officers Association that visited ICCI led by its Secretary General NamatUllah Masood, Riaz Khan Chairman, Mian Muhammad Chief Patron, Abdur Rahim Secretary Admin and Bilal Khan Office Secretary were in the delegation.

He said that after applying for completion certificates of buildings, business community has to wait for a long time and emphasized that CDA should streamline this process to avoid unnecessary delay in the issuance of completion certificates of commercial buildings.
