The Islamic University of Maldives (IUM) has begun a study, awarded tender last July and costing MVR 625,700 under a 120-day agreement signed with Male City Council, to determine how many vehicles can be registered in the Male area and for how long. The study covers Male, Villimale and Hulhumale and will consider population, vehicle numbers, road and parking sizes, public transport availability and practices in developed nations.
One outlet so far Only Atoll Times has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The agreement was signed by the Male City Council and IUM at a ceremony held on Sunday.
