The unrest began on Thursday when a large group of migrant workers secured the Bodufinolhu island in Baa atoll, being developed as a resort, and took 12 Maldivians into captivity, through the protests. The protests churned due to unpaid salaries for months and a few police officers were injured in the confrontation.
The expatriate workers agreed to work peacefully with the authorities to resolve the issue.
