Customs flat issue: New CG meets with Minister Haidar, assured 100 flats will be given

The newly appointed Controller General of Maldives Customs Service Fathimath Dhiyana met with Housing Minister Dr. Ali Haidar Ahmed yesterday over his comments made at the parliament's Petition Committee, which suggested that the 100 flats previously promised for employees of Maldives Customs Service within the 4,000 flats to be issued under the Gedhoruveriyaa [homeowner] scheme of the government will not in fact be allocated to them.

At the petition committee, Minister Haidar said that the current government is investigating the list of the initial 4,000 applicants announced as the recipients of apartments which was opened for applications in 2022 by the former administration. However, these flats do not include the 100 apartments dedicated for Customs, he said.
