The Transport Ministry has begun a program to destroy old and used vehicles in the Male' City to solve the traffic congestion problem plaguing the capital city.
The Ministry is teaming up with the Police, Male' City Council, HDC, Customs, MTCC, Housing Ministry, and the Economic Ministry.
The vehicles are being destroyed under a program that was launched today called the Urban Traffic Decongestion Management program. The Transport Ministry said that the purpose of the program was to decongest the streets of Male' and ensure the safety of those who use the roads.
The Ministry further said that these efforts would make the streets safer for all and reduce the number of fatal accidents in the highly crowded capital city.
It said that authorities have come up with short-term and long-term plans for traffic decongestion and that they would schedule how these efforts would be carried out.
The Ministry also stated that the efforts would be carried out in two phases and that today's launch was part of the first phase.
