President Mohamed
Solih has said that a picnic island in close range of the capital city will be
allocated for the recreational use of the locals in the foreseeable future.
Speaking at the
opening ceremony of the campaign hub, President Solih stated that the plans to
transition Male into a more socially friendly environment will be commencing
soon.
He added that many
types of facilities will be available from the picnic island, but the
government hasnt revealed the location of the island yet.
Islands used for
recreational purposes in the past were leased for tourism during reign of
Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom, and received harsh criticism from the public,
particularly when islands such as Kuda Bandos and Feydhoo Finolhu were
allocated for resort development.
Therefore, President
Ibrahim Solih has vowed to designate
islands for the exclusive use of locals for recreational purposes,
within the first 100 days of his term in office.
