He expressed special thanks to the ICT Administration, Deputy Commissioner Hamza Shafaat and Chief Commissioner Amir Ali Ahmed for their cooperation and support to the businesses in these tough times and hoped that they would continue to facilitate the business community similarly in future as well.
ICCI President further commended the decision of the government to allow the indoor wedding ceremonies from March 15, 2021 with stringent COVID SOPs.
He said that thousands of people were employed in marquees and wedding halls, but the closure of these businesses had rendered them jobless putting their families in great financial difficulties.
He said that the growth of business activities of many sub-sectors including poultry, meat, fruits and vegetables was dependent on marquees and wedding halls, therefore, closure of these businesses was multiplying the problems of all allied businesses.
Therefore, he hoped that allowing indoor wedding ceremonies would be helpful in reviving the business of multiple sectors.
Welcoming the government decision to life time limit from commercial activities, Fatma Azim Senior Vice President and Abdul Rehman Khan Vice President Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry appealed to the business community of all sectors to ensure strict compliance of SOPs while running commercial activities and extend a helping hand to the government’s efforts in controlling the spread of Covid-19 pandemic so that with the normalization of COVID situation, all business activities could get back to the normal routine and play positive role in stabilizing the economy.
