Court grants MVR 2 million as compensation for 2 Kulhudhuffushi plots

MVR 2 million was sent to Kulhudhuffushi Magistrate Court on Tuesday as compensation for two plots of land taken from locals for the Kulhudhuffushi Airport project.

Supplementing the development of the airport in Kulhudhuffushi, the project reclaimed six hectares of the island's lagoon as well as nine hectares of its mangrove lake. The project was extended due to the development of the airport's runway which required the demolishing of 18 houses overlapping the area.
