Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has revealed the development of the picnic island in the Greater Male' Region will be concluded within eight months.
MTCC has been contracted by the Ministry of National Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to develop Kudagiri, Kaafu Atoll as a picnic island. As such, MTCC will reclaim eight hectares of land within five months for the development of the picnic island.
Speaking at the ceremony held to sign the agreement of the development of a picnic island, CEO of MTCC Adam Azim said the main concept will be to develop the island similar to Kudabandos, which was previously utilised as a picnic island for the residents living in the region. MTCC will mobilise to launch the project as soon as the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) has been completed, he revealed.
The residents in the capital region lost the only picnic island within the accessible proximity following the redevelopment of Kudabandos as a resort.
