HDC to Resume Land Reclamation in Fushidhiggaru Lagoon in August
Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is preparing to resume stalled land reclamation in the Fushidhiggaru lagoon, focusing on the 24-hectare 'site F', with work scheduled to begin in August according to an EPA-published EIA report. The Rasmalé project has so far yielded only 29 hectares of reclaimed land, and President Muizzu has promised completion by year-end after acknowledging on 29 March that the project had stalled.
