Asad Umar had assured the traders of the federal capital to arrange the declaration of new rent control act in Islamabad within the first 100 days of PTI government and called upon him to honour his assurance in resolving the long standing issues of the local business community.

He was leading an ICCI delegation to congratulate the newly elected office bearers of Traders Welfare Association (TWA) of Sector G-9 Markaz.

They said that ICCI should further cooperate with TWA, so that issues of traders with CDA can be resolved to promote trade and economic activities.
