Despite the decision to appoint locals to clean the mosques in Hulhumale and Male’ City the development has proved unfruitful after a second announcement. After gazetting the announcement for a third time yesterday, the Mayor of Male’ City, Adam Azim sent a special message to the people declaring that mosques in Maldives must be cleaned by “Maldivian hands”.
“Make it an honor and happiness to maintain and clean Mosques in Maldives by the hands of Maldivians.” wrote Azim in a post with the publication of the announcement after failing to receive applications from a sufficient number of individuals to maintain and clean mosques.
