The Local Government Authority is seeking a High Court order to dissolve a five-member elected council from a northern island on a charge of falsifying official documents.
The council of Miladhoo in northern Noonu Atoll is accused of altering and destroying official communications and misuse of the council budget, according to local media reports.
“The LGA looked into a complaint regarding violations within the Miladhoo council and the board felt that there is adequate evidence to ask the High Court to dissolve the council,” said Mohamed Azmeen, the LGA spokesman.
