Police and Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) officer uniform regulations have been amended to allow the growing of beards.
Police Commissioner Abdulla Riyaz informed local media that the police management board had decided to allow officers to grow beards as officers had been requesting it.
Riyaz said the regulations had been amended and sent to the Home Ministry to be forwarded to the President’s Office, for publication in the government gazette on June 1.
According to the new amendment, police will be allowed to grow their beards up to two centimetres in length.
