Male' City Council revealed that many vehicles parked on city roads have remained unused for several years, with some being worn down and missing several parts.

The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation collaborated with Male' City Council, Waste Management Corporation Limited (WAMCO), and the police earlier in February to tow and destroy old vehicles parked on the streets of Male' and Hulhumale'.
