Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has stated the mechanical parking systems established in Hulhumale’ will be opened after all outstanding payments to the contractor are settled.
Speaking to PSM News, Managing Director of HDC Suhail Ali said the mechanical parking systems have not been opened yet as the project, which was launched by the previous administration, is not yet complete. He noted HDC was unable to settle the payments to the contractor due to financial difficulties faced by the company at the time. He said an agreement has been reached with the contractor to settle the outstanding payments in installments, adding the contractor has agreed to complete the mechanical parking system as the payments progress.
The mechanical parking systems were introduced to resolve the difficulties faced in Male’ and Hulhumale’ in parking vehicles. However, the systems built in Male’ had to be removed after being damaged without being put to use.
