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.
Joint Press Release: Death and serious injury of workers at the Waste Management Corporation Ltd (WAMCO): more than an alleged crime – it raises questions over employer responsibilities, workplace safety, labour rights, and accountability.
A joint press release by the RaaJe Coalition for Good Governance raises concerns about employer responsibility, workplace safety and accountability at the state-owned Waste Management Corporation Ltd (WAMCO) after a worker's death at the Thilafushi landfill and another worker's serious injury. It criticizes a purely criminal-justice approach, questions WAMCO's compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and calls on the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives and the Peoples' Majlis to investigate.
