The People’s Majlis is set to reconvene on Thursday at the Dharubaaruge multi purpose hall instead of the parliament house because of a minor fire that damaged its air conditioning system.
President Abdulla Yameen will deliver his annual presidential address at the opening.
Ahmed Mohamed, the secretary general of the People’s Majlis, said the January 28 fire had been caused by an electrical short in the deputy speaker’s office.
“We have brought in experts and they confirmed that we would not be able to use the chamber tomorrow,” he said.
