President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has assured that the dredging project in Gulhi will continue without interruption until the bond wall is completed and reclaimed land is ready for use.

During his visit to the island, Muizzu highlighted his administration’s commitment to fulfilling development pledges. He noted that while the previous government had signed the land reclamation agreement, no budget had been allocated for its execution. However, he emphasized that the Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) is now actively working on the project, ensuring steady progress.

Muizzu also addressed concerns regarding the island’s port space, stating that a decision on whether to expand the existing port or construct a new one would be made after consultations with the island council and the Ministry of Construction. He stressed the need for a solution that benefits both the local economy and the community. Additionally, he requested technical assessments to explore options for resolving issues with the port canal.

Regarding land allocated for local tourism, Muizzu stated that the Attorney General’s Office, the Ministry of Tourism, and the island council should review existing agreements to determine the best course of action for the island’s development.

He also pledged to restart stalled education projects, improve healthcare services, and address space constraints at the mosque, including waste management issues.

Muizzu’s visit to Gulhi is part of a broader initiative to engage with island councils and accelerate key development projects across the Maldives.
