ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) on Saturday called upon the Market Committee Islamabad to focus on streamlining the supply system to bring down prices of daily used items that would provide good relief to people.

ICCI President Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan said citizens were facing great diffi culties in meeting their budget due to high infl ation and emphasized the need to improve supply system in order to stabilise prices of daily use goods.

He said this while exchanging views with Rosh Dil Khan Hoti, Chairman Market Committee Islamabad during his visit to ICCI.

Director DMA Capt. Ali Asghar and Additional Deputy Commissioner General Rana Waqas also accompanied him. Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan said imposition of fi nes or penalties would not help reduce infl ation, therefore, efforts should be intensifi ed to streamline the supply and delivery systems.

He assured that business community of Islamabad would continue to cooperate with the Market Committee, DMA and district administration to resolve the issues causing infl ation.
