State Electric Company Limited (STELCO) has completed the installation of power cables in Kudagiri, Kaafu Atoll.
Kudagiri is currently under development as a picnic island for residents of the Greater Male’ Region. STELCO has installed 3km of power cables to develop the power distribution network of the island. STELCO is also working on the installation of street lights on the island.
Eight hectares of land were reclaimed by the Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) for the development of the picnic island. MTCC is currently developing the shore protection structures of the island.
Kudagiri Picnic Island will be developed with family rooms, food outlets, huts, and barbeque areas as well as changing rooms with lockers, nursing rooms, and prayer rooms. The island will also have an area allocated for events.
Residents of the Greater Male’ Region currently do not have a convenient picnic location. The residents in the capital region lost the only picnic island within the accessible proximity following the redevelopment of Kudabandos as a resort.
