Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
Male City Council mayor Dr Mohamed Muizzu said the government's proposal to reclaim land from the Hulhumale lagoon to allot land plots to Male natives is illegal, arguing the area lies under the council's jurisdiction rather than Urbanco's, violates the Hulhumale masterplan and the decentralisation act, and was pursued without consulting the council. Muizzu urged that the plan be amended to follow the law and public consultation, while saying the council would support housing efforts if done correctly.

We urge to amend the plan of the lagoon which is within the jurisdiction of Male City Council and not in Urbanco's registry, which then is done in violation of Hulhumale masterplan, without consulting the council and seeking public opinion…
If done right, the Male City Council will continue to extend its full support to all efforts to provide housing and other benefits to the people living in Male.
Adding land to the city's land is good if it facilitates the basic needs like people's housing, but it should be done in accordance with norms and regulations, just like any other matter
