Street Tarring Halted In Hiyaa Flats Area

The tarring of the streets in the vicinity of the Hiyaa Flats has come to a halt.

The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) had previously announced that the tarring of the streets in the Hiyaa Flats vicinity would have been completed by November 2021. The work has, however, exceeded the deadline and continued into the new year.

An Indian company had been contracted to carry out some of the work; the preparation work required for some of the streets has not been carried out. The public complains of the sand and dust from the areas under construction on windy days.

The HDC had not disclosed the reason for the halt in construction work; the HDC has maintained that the work is still on-going. However, residents in the area say that there were no signs of any work being carried out in the area.

Many families currently live at the Hiyaa Flats.
