The residents of Bandaeyri Koshi, a housing complex in Male' designated for military families, have been ordered to vacate their apartments by the end of December.
A family residing at the premises informed RaajjeMV that they received a notice this October, ordering them to vacate the property by the end of December this year. They expressed deep concern over the directive, noting that the order was issued abruptly.
When contacted during Monday's "Fashaairu" program to clarify the matter, the MNDF Information Officer stated that such details would be shared by the media official. However, the media official did not respond to multiple calls made during the program.
Consequently, comprehensive details regarding this matter remain unclear.
While residents of Bandeyri Koshi—a housing complex in Male' designated for military families—have been ordered to vacate by the end of December, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has announced plans for a major redevelopment of the site. Speaking at a ceremony held on May 9, 2026, to mark the 134th anniversary of the Maldives National Defence Force, the President stated that the existing structures will be demolished to make way for a large-scale housing project for military and police personnel, scheduled to commence in 2027.
President Muizzu stated that this project is not exclusive to the military, but will also guarantee housing for police officers.
President Muizzu stated that although Bandeyri Koshi was designated to provide housing for military personnel, the facility's condition has significantly deteriorated. He noted that only a few families are currently able to reside there, highlighting that the aging complex has remained without redevelopment for many years.
