Workers at Male’ seaport staged a demonstration after claiming that the Maldives Ports Authorities (MPA) had minimised the amount of goods that could be loaded onto a single lorry.

The MPA said this was a rule implemented for safety reasons.

Although the demonstrations caused inconveniences for parties loading and unloading goods at the port, normal service has been resumed.
