Addu City Mayor Ali Nizar informed "RaajjeMV" that a city-wide power outage occurred at approximately 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday. The Mayor stated that the cause of the disruption has not yet been identified and that it remains unclear when services will be restored.

The ongoing power outages in Addu City have become a major concern for its residents. Citizens are expressing their frustration, noting that despite the current administration being in power for over two years, a permanent solution has yet to be reached. Furthermore, there are growing grievances over the alleged suspension of infrastructure projects initiated by the previous government.
Residents of Addu City are expressing growing concern over the government's failure to implement a permanent solution to the city's ongoing electricity crisis. Critics argue that instead of addressing the root of the problem, authorities consistently resort to temporary fixes by installing used generators sourced from other locations whenever a power failure occurs.
Late last year, the region faced similar power supply issues, leading to scheduled rolling blackouts in certain areas due to the system's inability to meet peak demand.
