The Maldives Minister of National Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (MNPHI) Mr. Mohamed Aslam confirmed opening applications for land plots from Greater Male' region by late June.

Aslam declared the development during Parliament's session on Wednesday, June 15.

The Minister of Housing confirmed that the ministry will be making the announcement on June 26.

Ministry's initiative resonates with President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's pledge of issuing land from greater Male' region to resolve the housing crisis in the Maldives capital.

Under the initiative a total of 1,000 plots from Hulhumale', 2,000 plots from Gulhifalhu and 2,000 additional plots from the reclaimed land from Giraavaru lagoon will be issued to residents in the region.

While a total of 5,000 plots will be issued through the initiative, the ministry reported it will be announcing issuance of 3,000 plots in late June.

Other housing initiatives by the government include Vinares housing scheme under which residents will be allocated a total of 1,344 housing units based on eligibility, and a 4,000 housing unit project which Minister Aslam declared was proceeding apace.
