Raiymandhoo Island Council has noted that the administration had initiated a previously unanticipated number of developmental projects and has expressed gratitude to President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. He is currently on a five-island tour of Meemu Atoll.
During his visit to Raiymandhoo, President Solih held a meeting with the island council and the women’s development committee (WDC). The discussions at the meeting focused on the ongoing developmental work on the island and the needs of the community. Highlighting that one of the community’s biggest grievances was the lack of a water and sewerage system, the island’s representatives thanked the president for initiating projects to address these concerns. They also shared some of the community’s concerns, including the challenges they face due to the lack of a good harbour, coastal erosion, and interruption of services at the laboratory in the healthcare centre. They also spoke about challenges facing the education sector due to the low student population on the island.
Speaking at the meeting, President Solih assured the council members that the administration would seek ways to find amicable solutions to the concerns raised at the meeting, especially issues related to the harbour and coastal erosion.
A high-level government delegation, including cabinet members, accompanies the president on the visit.
