President Cancels Land Reclamation in Dhonfanu

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has decided not to proceed with the planned land reclamation project in B. Dhonfanu. The project had raised concerns among the public due to potential damage to the reef and its marine life.

In a post on X, the President noted that the project was initially promised and an agreement signed based on requests from local residents. However, he stated that the community has since expressed that they no longer wish for the land reclamation to take place.

The government will notify the Dhonfanu Council of the decision, emphasizing its commitment to implementing initiatives that reflect the wishes of the residents. “This government will not implement anything that residents don’t want. This is a government that works closely with people and strives towards their desired goals,” the President said.
