President Dr Mohamed Muizzu met with members of Hulhudhuffaaru Island Council, Women's Development Committee (WDC) and heads of institutions in Hulhudhuffaaru to discuss the developmental needs of the island.
During the meeting, council members presented the community's most pressing needs to the President. Chief among these were critical infrastructure requirements, notably the space limitations at the local school and the necessity for dormitory facilities.
The council highlighted several urgent infrastructure developments requiring immediate attention, including coastal protection initiatives, acceleration of road development works and vital improvements to the harbour's outer breakwater. They also brought focus to the challenges in newly populated areas, where the absence of essential utilities has created significant difficulties, stressing the pressing need for water and sewerage infrastructure in these localities.
Further matters raised included specific requirements for enhancing the island's health centre facilities.
President Dr Muizzu assured that the concerns raised would be thoroughly addressed. Cabinet Ministers in attendance provided comprehensive updates on the Government's ongoing efforts regarding the developmental matters highlighted by the council.
