Students from various universities and educational institutions across Islamabad actively participated in the event, presenting a wide range of products and ideas.
The market attracted a large number of visitors, particularly families who showed keen interest in the diverse offerings. Handmade products, arts and crafts, creative designs, modern technology-based projects were displayed, reflecting the talent and innovation of the youth.
The initiative was widely appreciated by the public as it successfully combined entrepreneurship, creativity, and community engagement under the administration of the CDA.
The unique step was taken on the Chairman CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Ali Randhawa.
On the occasion, Chief Officer MCI, Dr. Anam Fatima, stated that such events are being organised regularly at various community spaces and locations across Islamabad. She added that the special community market operates from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.
On the directions of the Chairman CDA, the Environment Wing distributed environmentally friendly plants among citizens as part of an awareness campaign to promote tree plantation and highlight its importance.
