The Sh. Feevah Island Council has expressed concern over the sluggish progress of the police station construction project, noting that the work remains significantly delayed despite the council allocating a large plot of land for the facility.
Providing details regarding the project, the Vice President of the Feevah Council, Ali Riza, stated that the council initially allocated a 10,000-square-foot plot for the construction of the police station. However, following a subsequent request noting that the initial area was insufficient, the council later allocated a larger plot of 16,500 square feet for the project.
Ali Riza stated that although the project’s foundation was laid and physical work commenced on October 14, 2025, the progress remains significantly slow. He noted that while work appears to be ongoing without interruption, the overall pace of the project has been heavily delayed, pointing out that after a full year, no substantial progress has been made beyond the installation of some structural steel.
Ali Riza further noted that the project, which has been contracted to a private company, is primarily carried out by a workforce of approximately 10 expatriate laborers. He also expressed concerns regarding the slow pace of the police station's construction, stating that at the current rate, he does not expect the project to be completed anytime soon.
