Security grills have been installed on the windows of the first floor of the Hiyaa residential towers located in Hulhumale' 2.

This measure addresses a design issue that allows individuals to climb out of the first-floor windows onto the ledge outside.

Housing Development Corporation (HDC) implemented this solution following requests from tenants concerned about safety.
