Police dismantled political party jagahas or hangouts on the island of Kudahuvadhoo in Dhaalu Atoll on the home ministry’s orders.
Umar Naseer, the home minister, said the hangouts were built on public spaces.
The Kudahuvadhoo island council said the Local Government Authority, chaired by Naseer, had ordered the council to take back public spaces used for political party activities.
Both the ruling Progressive Party of the Maldives and the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party’s hangouts on the harbour front were dismantled.
