He added that halted projects will also be resumed alongside the launch of new projects.
“What is most essential for this island is housing. In order to achieve housing, the government will highly prioritize the development of a plan for Holhumeedhoo that remains under your jurisdiction as an extension of Holhudhoo and establish all essential infrastructure required for the island.
