Large metal pipes are among the construction debris left at the capital’s popular surf point, which reopened in August following the completion of a US$200 million bridge.
The surf point, commonly known as Raalhugandu, was fenced off in January 2016 for the construction of the Sinamalé Bridge that was inaugurated recently.
The government last week advised surfers to be cautious of waste left there, Mihaaru reported.
Housing Minister Mohamed Muizzu said the area was closed off to protect surfers from any possible injuries while construction work was ongoing.
