President Dr Mohamed Muizzu met with members of the N. Velidhoo Island Council, the Women’s Development Committee (WDC), and heads of several local institutions to discuss the island’s key development priorities.
The meeting was held today at the Council Secretariat.
During the meeting, Council members addressed the issues of erosion, the need for a designated recreational island to facilitate activities such as picnics for residents, and the challenges faced by residents in engaging in various sports due to the limited availability of a single football field.
