HDC to Resume Land Reclamation in Fushidhiggaru Lagoon in August

The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is preparing to resume land reclamation in Fushidhiggaru lagoon in August, as part of President Mohamed Muizzu's Rasmalé project. Only 29 hectares have been reclaimed so far. Work will focus on site F (24 hectares) using sand from the same borrowing site south of Malé Atoll. The project faced controversy when President Muizzu launched it in defiance of parliament's decision to redirect MVR 400 million from the budget. After media reports of delays, the administration acknowledged on 29 March that the project had stalled, and President Muizzu promised completion by year-end.
