President Announces Scheme To Allocate Land From Controversial UTF Site
President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih announced a new land allocation scheme for residents of Malé City who have lived there for 20 years or more. The land will be in several areas including the controversial Uthuru Thila Falhu (UTF) site. A series of bridges will connect Malé to Villingili, Gulhifalhu, Thilafushi, Giraavaru Falhu, and UTF. Solih emphasized that the land is for Maldivians only. The UTF site, where MNDF is building a harbour with Indian assistance, has been controversial due to a non-disclosed agreement with India signed in February 2021. Opposition critics accuse the government of allowing Indian military presence, which the government denies.
