HDC Denies Suspending Work on Ras Malé Project

The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has denied reports that land reclamation for the Ras Malé project at Fushidhiggarufalhu has stalled. Sri Lanka's Capital Marine and Civil Construction (CMC) was tasked with the development on 18 December last year. President Mohamed Muizzu had stated that land reclamation would be complete within eight months if work proceeds on schedule. HDC Information Officer Mohamed Siraj told local media that dredging work is continuing, but the main work currently is construction of the bund wall. HDC maintains that the project remains on schedule.
