Families whose houses will be demolished for an airport on Tuesday said they were still in the dark about relocation plans.
There are 18 houses close to the mangrove area of Kulhudhuffushi that will be knocked down for the project, and 15 families have waited for over a year for firm concrete relocation plans.
The remaining four properties are unoccupied. The Maldives Independent estimates around 80 people live across the properties. It spoke to every household that will have to relocate because of the airport.
