An environment NGO has cried foul over a government land reclamation project in Komandoo island, Shaviyani atoll.
The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company’s project, which began last Thursday, is expected to take week.
Ecocare Maldives said that “MTCC is violating environmental regulations” by using the Mahaa Jarraafu dredger for the reclamation.
They called on the public firm to comply with the rules, urging a review of the “outdated” environmental impact assessment that was done in 2011.
