President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has officially inaugurated 'Ras Malé', marking the commencement of the nation's most extensive land reclamation project ever undertaken. The commencement of the Ras Malé project was held at Fushidhiggaru Lagoon this evening.
First Lady Sajidha Mohamed, Vice President Hussain Mohamed Latheef, and his spouse, Aishath Afreen Mohamed, accompanied the President at the inaugural function.
Highlighting that the city developed as Ras Malé at Fushidhiggaru Lagoon would result in the reclamation of 1,150 hectares of land, the President reaffirmed his pledge to complete the project within eight months of commencement.
The alleviation of the housing crisis in the Malé region is one of the key pledges of this Administration.
The President has proposed a strategic solution to this issue through the reclamation and subsequent development of Fushidhiggaru Lagoon as a city. Upon successful completion, the Fushidhiggaru lagoon reclamation would generate a land mass approximately three times the cumulative area of the two phases of Hulhumale', becoming the nation's most extensive land reclamation project ever undertaken.
