Madaveli Reclamation Begins

Vice President Hussain Mohamed Latheef  inaugurated the project at a ceremony on the island. MTCC is carrying out the USD 11.3 million project, with completion set within 400 days.

The project includes dredging land and building coastal protection structures. Authorities will dredge over 19 hectares in the second phase and construct revetment and groynes.

Madaveli has long faced housing shortages. MTCC has said the project will improve housing availability and reduce risks such as flooding and coastal erosion.
