A number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have expressed concerns regarding the government's decision to build the roads of VilliMale'. The concerns were voiced after the government instructed the Road Development Corporation (RDC) to conduct surveys and environmental impact assessments (EIAs) for the project.
In a joint statement released on Tuesday by the local VilliMale' community organization VilliJoali and Save The Beach, the organizations claimed that the roads of VilliMale' are already up to modern standards as it is. They stated that the actual issue is only the lack of maintenance of the roads.
