Islamabad Stock Exchange Tower to have modern facilities: Chairman CDA - Naveed Yaseen - 01-03-2009 08:29 AM
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) would equip the under-construction Islamabad Stock Exchange Tower with modern facilities, said CDA Chairman Tariq Mehmood during his meeting with an ISE delegation here Friday.
He said the tower must be equipped with fire alarm and fire extinguishing system to avoid the reoccurrence of the tragedy, as happened in Gakhar Plaza Rawalpindi, resulting into the collapse of the whole building.
On request of the delegation members, the CDA chairman directed the concerned officers to provide a U-turn and improve service road in front of the tower to facilitate the business community.
He assured the delegation that CDA would extend all cooperation in connection with the beautification and provision of all facilities.
Tariq Mehmood said CDA is also engaged in upgrading fire and rescue service in the city and more significance would be given to command and control to take effective measures in cases of emergency for better coordination between institutions and rescue teams.
He said the CDA is also working on ‘Green and Clean’ Islamabad and is planting 30 plants in place of one tree chopped during the execution of different development projects.
He said a citizen club is being built with the facilities of library, gym, revolving restaurant, dancing fountain, adding that the fountains would also be installed on different points in the capital.
Moreover, he said CDA would also construct parking plazas in Blue Area owing to the shortage of parking lots in the commercial hub of the federal capital.
