Youth Minister Ahmed Mahloof says the Maldivian environment is not suitable for outdoor gyms.
He made these remarks while answering questions asked by the MP for Kaashidhoo Constituency Abdullah Jabir today at the Parliament.
The Minister said the government was working to provide indoor gym equipment to Kaashidhoo and nine other islands.
Mahloof said setting up outdoor gyms is a nice idea but the equipment often sustains damage because of salty air and it was difficult to repair such equipment.
He further said that the Ministry is working to change the outdoor gyms in the islands to indoor gyms and that the Ministry plans to set up indoor gyms on islands in which it was budgeted to set up outdoor islands.
