New Government Has No Immediate Plans for UTF Development
Minister of Infrastructure Dr Abdulla Muththalib announced that the current government led by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has no immediate plans for developing Uthuru-Thilafalhu (UTF), a lagoon with a strategic military post. Critics of former President Solih alleged it was leased to India as a military base, which Solih denied. The area was designated for residential development before Solih's term ended, with 19,347 applications received. The current government focuses on the Fushidhiggaru urbanisation initiative, allocated MVR 400 million in the 2024 state budget, as part of the 100-day plan to solve the housing crisis in Malé City.
