Minister of Cities, Local Government, and Public Works Adam Shareef has announced that the government will distribute government issued staple foods (rice and flour), to every household for the month of Ramadan.
The distribution of staple food to households for the upcoming month of Ramadan was announced by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. However, concerns have been raised over the need for registration as Male' City Council announced that households in the Greater Male' area wishing to receive flour and rice contributions from the government will need to register next week.
