Police further commented the stricter conduct towards expat residencies come due to the living standards, conditions - which have a higher probability of contracting viral diseases.
Several news and reports from local media confirm many Bangladeshi nationals are sheltered in undignified living conditions in the Maldives capital, giving rise to complaints over ill treatment and discrimination against them.
Most abodes specific for Bangladeshi nationals force overwhelming numbers of them to bunk together, which also give rise to unsafe and unhygenic living conditions.
