The government has announced plans to reclaim the southwestern harbour of Malé to build a waste management center and to relocate warehouses.
Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muizzu said last night that the reclaimed area would be used to ease the transport of waste from Malé to the industrial Thilafushi Island. Barges carrying waste would be able to dock directly at the new center, he said.
The southwest harbor reclamation is the latest in a host of major construction projects planned by the government for the capital city, home to nearly a third of the Maldives 350,000 strong population.
Warehouses scattered throughout the city will be relocated to the area, Muizzu said. Heavy vehicles and construction materials will be housed at the area.
