Said in these stories
- “When it floods, vehicles are submerged in water and mud, making it impossible for motorcycles to navigate. While pickups are forced to continue their trips to transport goods regardless of the conditions, motorcycles inevitably stall in the deluge. The area is overwhelmed by the stench of waste, and even when it remains flooded for a week or two, there is no consideration given to repairing the road.”A worker in Thilafushi · Raajje (English) Source (opens Raajje (English) in a new tab)
- “Ferry frequencies must be increased immediately. The current two-hour intervals should be reduced to hourly departures. Even the late afternoon service, which currently runs every thirty minutes, remains consistently at full capacity, including the 6:30 PM ferry.”A laborer in Thilafushi · Raajje (English) Source (opens Raajje (English) in a new tab)
- “That night, for instance, I was in constant pain and crying from that moment until 11:00 p.m. because I could not get the necessary treatment. Even after doctors administered about 11 injections, there was no relief; it was only after they performed a surgical incision that my condition improved.”A worker in Thilafushi · Raajje (English) Source (opens Raajje (English) in a new tab)
