On a post x, the Minister said that to begin the work on the project, authorities have closed off parts of the road near the official jetty and the local market and made changes to the traffic routes near these areas.
The Minister also said that the lagoon near the area has also been closed off for public use.
Minister Muthalib apologized for the inconveniences caused by the changes and requested the public to cooperate with the authorities.
