Civil servants protest in front of Velanaage over parking inconveniences

Several people employed in the civil service protested in front of Velanaage, the government office complex in Malé, on Tuesday over parking inconveniences.

Parking in front of the building on Ameer Ahmed Magu is not permitted; however, due to a lack of space in that area, a lot of people who work in the building park their vehicles there. On February 12, the traffic police gave tickets to all the vehicles parked in front of the building during official hours. The employees were outraged, but they stopped parking opposite Velanaage to avoid being fined.
