The Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure today brought City Park and Fini Park under its jurisdiction, although Malé City Council has said they were not informed of this decision.
In a pressed statement released to the media, the ministry said the two parks were taken in accordance with a cabinet decision made on March 25, and requesting that those who conducted any transaction regarding the parks inform the ministry of the details before June 26.
While the ministry has said the parks were taken due to the council’s violation of the original handover agreement, the city council has denied this allegation.
Both the parks were developed in by Malé City Council in 2012 with cafeteria services under a public-private partnership.
