Piles of garbage have been left to rot on the streets of Malé days after a housing ministry organized waste disposal program ended.
The housing ministry on June 14 announced it will pick up trash from households between 4pm and 10pm on June 15. The program was announced ahead of the Islamic month of Ramadan.
Officials said households must register to get trash cleared out.
Five days later, several houses are continuing to leave trash on Malé’s narrow and congested streets.
