The MoU was signed by Managing Director of HDC Ahmed Athif and Commissioner of Police Mohamed Hameed. The agreement allows MPS access to the live footage of CCTVs installed in and around the 16 Hiya Towers. MPS stated that the partnership will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of incident response and investigations, creating a safer environment for the community.
