More than 5,000 forms have been submitted for 7,000 flats in the flagship Hiyaa social housing project launched last year by President Abdulla Yameen’s government, local media reported.
More than 43,000 forms have so far been taken since the project was inaugurated in May. The housing ministry says forms will be available from the ministry and on its website until the end of August.
The deadline was previously July 31.
Deputy Housing Minister Ibrahim Nazeem on Wednesday said the deadline was extended to allow more people to have a chance of getting a flat and urged the public to submit the forms at the earliest opportunity.
