President Abdullah Yameen has declared that all Government offices will be closed from 9th to 11th December, in a directive issued by the President’s office on Monday.
In the directive, it was announced that the Government offices were closed to alleviate the difficulties faced by the public, due to the current water shortage, brought on by the fire that broke out at the Maldives Water and Sewerage Company (MWSC). However, the directive states that the President’s Office will be open from 10:00am to 1:00 pm.
