President Muizzu Announces Return of Utility Discounts for Ramadan

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu announced the reinstatement of utility bill discounts for Ramadan, which were introduced last year.

He also pledged additional support, including distribution of staple foods and a case of tuna per household, coordinated by the State Trading Organization (STO). Last year, 1.6 million kg of rice and flour were distributed to 82,000 households. The initiative aims to ease financial burdens during Ramadan.
