The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), together with the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), gathered local traders and industrialists at its premises to discuss measures for protection against fire damage. During the session, businesses explored the consequences of lost buildings, machinery, stock and equipment on production, earnings and household stability.
Insurance representatives presented the fire and property policies currently offered, describing coverage options, claims procedures and the Takaful model compatible with Sharia principles. Pointing to a Mettis Global report, they urged sharper fire‑safety routines and the purchase of cover that guards against business interruption. The gathering is part of the SECP initiative to increase insurance awareness and uptake, particularly among small and medium‑size enterprises, to fortify enterprise continuity.
