Residents of HA. Dhidhdhoo have reported that despite ongoing projects in the island being stalled, new projects were awarded just one day prior to the elections.
Regarding the development projects in Dhidhdhoo, many residents have expressed concern that despite the government's numerous promises leading up to the elections, these initiatives are not progressing as pledged.
Residents of the island who spoke with RaajjeTV stated that several projects have been contracted to MTCC for development. Among these is the construction of a futsal pitch, which residents noted has remained stalled for the past six months.
Reports indicate that even while existing works remained stalled, the government awarded significantly larger projects in the lead-up to the elections. Some of these projects were reportedly commissioned as late as one day before the polls.
The situation at the Dhidhdhoo hospital remains unchanged. Residents report that although authorities claim cement bags have been delivered to the site, there is no visible progress on the construction work.
Furthermore, reports indicate that more than two years have passed since it was announced that work on the jetty project, contracted to MTCC, was underway. The prolonged suspension of these works has prompted numerous residents to voice their growing concerns.
In the lead-up to the recent elections, the government launched numerous similar projects across various islands. However, despite hiring staff for these initiatives, no actual progress has been made on the work to date.
