Muizzu Administration Concedes to Stalling of Flagship Rasmalé Project
The Muizzu government acknowledged for the first time that its flagship Rasmalé land reclamation project in Fushidhiggaru Falhu has stalled, with only about 10 hectares reclaimed against a 1,153-hectare target set for eight months. Minister of Construction and Infrastructure Abdulla Muththalib said the government is seeking alternative financing and has decided to terminate its contract with contractor CMCC, aiming to complete reclamation before the end of the year.
