MDP Decries Lack of Consultation as Government Declares Seven Urban Centres Across Maldives

MDP chair Fayyaz Ismail criticised the Mohamed Muizzu administration for designating seven islands as urban centres without consulting stakeholders or island residents, and said the 20-year national development master plan would be drafted the same way. The administration's designation fulfils a presidential pledge, and Muizzu also announced plans for Northern and Southern Integrated Development Zones.
