During the meeting held at the Fuvahmulah City Council Secretariat, extensive discussions were held regarding the issues facing the island community as well as development needs.

As such, councilors shed light on the significance of moving forward with the second phase of road construction which commenced on Monday.

They also stressed the need to finish the remaining roads, as swiftly as possible.

In addition to this, the councilors expressed urgency to begin the construction of the proposed 400 housing units as soon as possible.

President Muizzu was also briefed on the need for high-quality services to start at the hospital, space constraints at the harbor, expansion of the airport runway, increasing the capacity of powerhouses, early completion of the fish storage system as well as building a new hospital.

Speaking at the meeting, Fuvahmulah WDC members also raised issues and concerns they face.

Listening to these concerns, President Muizzu assured that the government would modernize all roads of the city as pledged earlier and added that his administration would carefully address the power crisis and other concerns facing the community.
