President Dr Mohamed Muizzu met with the Lh. Kurendhoo Island Council, Women's Development Committee (WDC), and heads of local institutions to discuss the most pertinent concerns of the residents.
During the meeting held at Lh. Atoll School, council members shared the most crucial priorities for the island's development. In this regard, they highlighted the harbour development project, requesting its completion to align with the residents' wishes. This includes the inclusion of a quay wall and the construction of a ramp for waste transportation.
Additionally, they noted the staffing constraints at the Health Centre, requesting the introduction of physiotherapy services in the new extension building, given that the necessary machines, donated by a well-wisher, are already available. Furthermore, they highlighted the need for land reclamation due to land scarcity and noted that more housing units are required in addition to the 50 units currently under construction.
The Council also requested the provision of sewerage services for applicants and an increase in the island's electricity capacity, including an additional generator, to supply power to the 50 new housing units.
Requests were also made for the replacement of the turf on the island's main football field and repairs to the futsal pitch fence.
The President stated that the issues highlighted by the Council would be addressed, and the accompanying Cabinet Ministers and heads of State-Owned Enterprises also shared the latest updates on the island’s ongoing projects.
