An amendment to the law has been proposed to the parliament in order to establish the Gaaf Dhaal Atoll Thinadhoo Island Council as a City Council and eliminate the legal obstructions that prevent the council with this stature.
Despite the former government bestowing the island of Thinadhoo with the title of a city due the approach of the presidential election, the council had some concerns about its constitutional status. Subsequently, the council submitted their concerns to the parliament.
