First round of applications submitted for 4,000 flats under review

Minister of Housing, Land and Urban Development Dr Ali Haidar Ahmed said that the government will review the 20,000 applications submitted in the first round of the Gedhoruveriyaa housing scheme to finalize the 4,000 recipients of the flats.

Speaking to the parliament's Petitions Committee, Minister Haidar said that 825 applicants on the permanent list of recipients published by the previous government had no issues. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) had examined this list, determining that only 20 percent of the recipients were eligible, while 60 percent did not meet the criteria.
