The Ministry of Housing has taken over the Dharubaaruge conference center from the Malé City Council and changed locks on the building with police assistance.
The ministry claimed the council is deliberately delaying the handover of the center as per a cabinet decision on March 27.
The Dharubaaruge takeover is the latest in an ongoing dispute between the ministry and opposition dominated council on ownership of land in the capital city.
Deputy Mayor Shifa Mohamed told Minivan News she is shocked by the ministry’s actions and would take up the matter at the Civil Court.
