Press Statement: Dhigurah fire highlights failures in enforcement of safety standards in migrant worker accommodations
Five civil society organizations issued a press statement expressing deep concern over a fire in a migrant workers' accommodation in ADh.Dhigurah that killed five people and left two others critically ill on ventilators. The statement links the incident to a pattern of fires in migrant housing, blames weak enforcement of accommodation and occupational safety laws, and calls on Maldives authorities to investigate, compensate victims' families, and hold negligent parties accountable.
